FormscanBy Tom Weekes - LENJOLEUR DE PALMA finished a good second in a Listed course-handicap during Christmas, and that form stands out here. The selection initially shaped with some promise in the UK but has shown improvement on his Irish starts and while he hasn’t raced since December, is open to further progression and seems ground-versatile. Donnrua Dream ended a long losing spell to score here last month and while he was well beaten subsequently, is suited by testing ground. Eight-year-old winning pointer Crohan Lady ran well at Thurles last month and runs for a different trainer.
