FormscanBy Alan Magee - BALLYGLASS BEAUTY won over a similar trip at Kilbeggan last autumn and has held his form well since including when beating all bar Old Soul on soft ground at Punchestown last time. The Liam Cusack-trained gelding can be a bit keen and is now fitted with a hood. Tangental won on testing ground at Fairyhouse two years ago but was generally disappointing until joining Ciaran Murphy after a 12-month break and justified good support when upped to this trip at Clonmel. That form can probably be upgraded as he met some interference before the straight. Dr Val won over this trip at Punchestown last month and is one for the shortlist off a 5lb higher mark, while Lizlucky and Lizrona are others to consider.
