FormscanBy Michael Graham - FLIER's form can be a bit in and out, but she has the ability to win this handicap. She made the breakthrough over further at Dundalk in March and, on her last two outings over this sort of trip, she was a close second in Leopardstown before making headway to finish mid-division at the same track. Tipperary-winner Chou Chou ought to be a factor on this ground. This is a new trip for Carrickfinn in a bid to grab an elusive victory. He can be given a chance on his runner-up berth over 1m at this venue in June. Gallo Dell Cielo is coming down the weights and has a course victory in his locker, while Together Aclaim and Dazzling Spirit have squeaks.
