FormscanBy Gary Carson - A tricky looking contest with stamina concerns over two of the obvious contenders. LOVE MOCHA gets the vote as she looks the pick at the weights off her mark of 73. The Awtaad filly reportedly didn't face into first time blinkers at Gowran last time when she also stumbled over a furlong from home before weakening. She had been a solid third at Sligo previously and arguably has the strongest form in the book. Western Cape is rated 6lb inferior but ran well in maiden company when third at Roscommon last time. He was well beaten over this trip previously though. Donbeg Reel has a mark of 69 which would actually leave him coming out best treated in this. The Highland Reel gelding has been well beaten in recent starts though and needs to improve on those showings.
