FormscanBy Michael Graham - This step up in trip may see JOLI TRAVAIL to better effect after keeping on at one pace for third on debut over an extended 2m4f in Killarney. Anna McGuinness is getting opportunities for Willie Mullins and rode a winner for the stable at Kilbeggan last weekend. Gordon Elliott's Jazz De Cotte is also up in trip, but has a bit more experience, and cheekpieces are tried after a runner-up berth in Downpatrick. His stablemate, William Butler, has had the benefit of racing over a further trip when fifth at Limerick and third in Tipperary, so should have a role to play. Sporting Glance and Mister Frostie aren't out of contention, while Ludovico Sforza is a point-to-point winner to note.
