FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MIRACLES IN MAY is no spring chicken aged seven but has good recent form and competes from a career low rating, from a suitable draw in 5. A dual winner, he is ground-versatile, ran well in a big-field Cork handicap recently and is suited by a mile. Salt Whistle Bay has the important inside draw and also has recent form. Ground-versatile and a five-time winner, he was beaten 4.75 lengths by Phoenix Open here in August but is now 11lb better off and was a close third from today's rating on Tuesday. All three of Phoenix Open's wins have been at this distance but is dreadfully drawn in 19. Take My Hand, in 2, is ground-versatile but hasn't run since June. Plankton debuts for new connections in first-time cheekpieces and while stepping up to a mile should suit, meets experienced rivals on handicap debut. You Owe Me Money ran well at Galway but is a 15-race maiden while Speckled Meadow ran well on debut for a new yard at Navan but drops in distance.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-65Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
