FormscanBy Michael Graham - A mistake at the last did BORN DE CERES (8) no favours when runner-up at Limerick, however, he is progressing with racing and receives a nice bit of weight from most of his rivals on handicap debut. The long-absent Belle The Tigress would be threatening if fully wound up for her return to action. She was last seen finishing in mid-division of a valuable mares' handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival of 2025. Inver Bay is in rude health after victories at Roscommon (over hurdles and on the Flat) and has to be respected up in class. Shirzan, who has been placed in her last two races, is another to consider, while Allo Al Khawaneej hasn't been running badly in claimers.
