FormscanBy Donal Murphy - ZANAVI was an impressive winner at Fairyhouse last month and he should be able to follow-up now. His trainer Denis Hogan was considering a trip to Cheltenham for the grey gelding, but his decision to stay at home may prove to be a wise one. Scholastic was a respectable fourth in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on her last start and she is given second preference. Successful on the level at Dundalk in January, the versatile daughter of Zoffany is likely to give a good account of herself. Awkwafina was a shock 100/1 winner over the course and distance in December and while she was a bit disappointing last time, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to bounce back now. Iberia won what was probably a weak contest at Gowran and he will need to improve again if he is to take this. Rock Chica is another warranting respect, with the remaining three runners appearing to be up against it.
