FormscanBy Michael Graham - Rock Of Candy has a clear chance on the back of an improved performance when runner-up to a very in-form, and well-handicapped, horse over course and distance last month. The forecast rain would be a concern, though, as her best performances have come on good ground. BREAKINTHECLOUDS was beaten the same distance into second by that aforementioned winner when he followed up in Cork. He is proven over further than this and will relish the forecast slower ground. Forgetmenotblue avails of the best draw in stall one at this track again (a place behind Rock Of Candy in third last month). She has been placed in her last three starts and wouldn't need to find much more to deliver. Champion jockey Colin Keane is a notable booking for Jack Davison's Gregor Mendel. Sovereignty faced a tough task when third at Fairyhouse. He could go better than his odds would suggest and is well drawn.
