FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Off an identical mark to which she won over course and distance last July, DOCTOR GRACE catches the eye. A consistent mare on the polytrack since switching to Ado McGuinness, the five-year-old is equally at home on turf. A hold-up horse who enjoys coming from off the pace, a big field handicap on this galloping track suits her ideally. Provided she gets the breaks at the right time, the daughter of Buratino can record a fourth career success. The Real Screamer signed off last year with two impressive wins at Dundalk. If the Paul Flynn-trained gelding handles the grass in a similar fashion then he must go close. Abbey Actress and Zipster are others to consider.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards (70 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
