FormscanBy Michael Graham - MONAASIB is interesting dropping in class and trip from the Irish 2,000 Guineas. He didn't get involved at the business end of that Classic run on testing ground at the Curragh, however, there was a lot to like about his third in a 2,000 Guineas Trial at this track on his penultimate start. That race was over seven furlongs, on good ground, and he was beaten just over a length and a half by subsequent Newmarket 2,000 Guineas winner Poetic Flare which is very solid form in the context of this race. He gets a first-time visor. Pearls Galore disappointed when last seen at Dundalk in November but her jockey reported that she ran flat. She is better judged on her close second to Champers Elysees in a Group 3 at Gowran Park in September, which puts her right in the mix here. British-raider Lord Of The Lodge is in good form and was Listed placed two runs back. He has plenty of strong back form in the book.
