FormscanBy Michael Graham - JOYFUL TIDINGS has the big advantage of winning his maiden on rain-softened ground at Tipperary. He went off favourite for that debut run and the runner-up endorsed the form in no uncertain terms by winning twice since then, including in Listed company at Tipperary. Karl Burke's Alparslan was an emphatic winner of a novice stakes at Leicester and holds a Group One entry, so his chance is respected. Ger Lyons is having a good season with his juveniles and his representative, By The Lake, held on by a neck to make a winning start in Naas. Blingy's Sister was beaten into second at Chester by a horse that has some eye-catching entries, so her chance shouldn't be underestimated.
