FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Little to choose between Cornerkova and IMPERIAL CHOICE on their running at Kilbeggan, but the latter might be able to reverse placings. Charles Byrnes’ mare has been a beaten favourtite three times since running second over course and distance last August, but came from well back last time and might do better if ridden a little closer to the pace. Cornerkova was having her first start in handicaps when second to Moonball in that Kilbeggan event and is an obvious danger. Elegant Lass made all for an easy win at 50/1 at Bellewstown and, if she has now turned the corner, a 10lbs rise may not be insurmountable, while Mademoiselle Penny ran well over hurdles at Tipperary and is a five-time winner on the level. Capture The Action was consistent through the winter including when touched off here in January and returns from a lay-off on quicker ground.
