FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Slight preference is for SCARLET AND DOVE over Elimay. The selection gave weight to Elimay when narrowly defeated twice, last January and March, but reversed placings when winning well at Punchestown on today's terms. Both are suited by this distance and fitness will play a part on testing ground. Ballyshannon Rose is race-fit and likes heavy and while not disgraced being beaten by Saturday's Paddy Power Chase runner-up last month, she again tackles formidable rivals and has 14lb to find. Dolcita disappointed in the Punchestown race won by the selection and while she receives weight, has plenty to prove against high class, open mares. Lightly weighted Western Zara has only 5lb to find on adjusted ratings but has run just twice over fences while Minx Tiara has 10lb to find and needs to improve.
