FormscanBy Mark Nunan - LORD VADER, who had placed form on the all-weather in Britain, caught the eye on his second start for Emmet Mullins at Limerick in April and again came home well when fourth in the Ladies Derby at the Curragh. He wasn't beaten far in a premier handicap at Leopardstown that produced a couple of winners here earlier in the week and it's noteworthy that his shrewd trainer now goes back into maiden company with him. The well-bred Simpson's Paradox is rated 10lb higher than the selection and had a good run over course and distance last year when third to a pair of Ballydoyle-trained colts. He didn't do much wrong when second at Killarney after a three month lay-off and looks sure to go close. Katola is a half-sister to three winners and it will be interesting to see how strong the Weld newcomer is in the market while Bottler'secret made a promising debut at Limerick and has place claims.
