FormscanBy Gary Carson - COEUR D’OR looks to be running into form and is capable of striking off this mark. He ran a solid race here in mid-April and stepped forward to finish third at Cork nine days later. That came off this mark of 89 and the previous course and distance winner can strike again now. Down at the other end of the handicap Moyassr comes here in fine form, after scoring at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago. The Mehmas gelding is up in grade now but is respected, having won with a bit in hand last time. Abbey Actress ran well here on her penultimate outing and is another to consider.
