FormscanBy Alan Magee - LANTRY LADY receives 14lb from chief rival What’s Up Darling in what is far from a strong renewal of this Grade 3. The Henry de Bromhead-trained mare won a maiden hurdle in impressive fashion on this card 12 months ago beating Silent Approach, subsequently a Grade 2 winner over fences, by an easy 14 lengths. It is obviously a concern that she hasn’t been seen since but on the plus side is proven on this ground and track. What’s Up Darling easily won a point-to-point and bumper and having opened his account over hurdles in the Grade 3 For Auction Novice at Navan, now takes a drop in class after his fifth in the Grade 1 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse. Doyen Ta Win is a free running mare who went up a combined 27lb for completing a hat-trick in handicaps last spring but appears exposed now on a mark of 119. The other two runners look well out of their depth.
