FormscanBy Michael Graham - LOW LIE THE FIELDS was a fair third in a better class of race over CD last month. He gets first-time cheekpieces and should be involved off the same mark with Mike O'Connor claiming 5lb again. He holds an each-way chance. Gorgeous Suspect is a handicap debutant who has flashed ability in three maidens including when placed at Punchestown and Fairyhouse. Gali Flight is in decent form after placed runs over this trip in Gowran Park and Thurles. Emily Roebling dips her toes into handicap company for the first time on her seasonal reappearance. She took the runner-up berth in her last two starts in mares' maiden hurdles, so is one to consider. Moonovercloon and Gendarme could bounce back from disappointing recent runs. Rachael Blackmore is a notable booking for Robindevidastar.
