FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SILVER PLANEUR was a wide margin winner of this staying contest last year and looks to have been brought to the boil nicely for her repeat bid. She hadn’t shown much since scoring by 14 lengths in this race but her fourth at Limerick in May was much more encouraging and she’s only 3lb higher than was the case twelve months ago. The booking of a promising 7lb claimer gives her a lovely racing weight. Like the selection, Turbojet is getting on in years but his half length second over 3m at Wexford in May was a good effort. Topweight Don’t Tell Allen got a canny waiting ride to win a maiden at the same track last month and has plenty of upside after just five starts over hurdles. Useful chaser The Dabbler is interesting off his much lower hurdles mark and local hope Arthur’s Baby has indicated a couple of times that this kind of trip is within her compass.
