FormscanBy Gary Carson - SPARKLING SEA drops into handicap company and may prove the class act here. The Ger Lyons-trained filly was too keen for her own good in a hot Listed race at this venue 12 days ago and weakened in the closing stages behind Majestic Sky. She had run a cracker at Navan previously when third to Whistlejacket and a repeat of that showing would make her hard to beat. Mint Man is a consistent sort and has been knocking on the door. He might prove the danger. Dual course and distance winner Dandyville has slipped a bit in the ratings and may get closer now.
