FormscanBy Donal Murphy - SAYITFIRST is in the form of her life at present. Successful at Sligo early last month and beaten by just a short head on recent starts at Tramore and Down Royal respectively, she would be a deserving winner of this competitive affair. A course and distance runner-up on what was her first start over fences, Stoneyford Lady is an obvious danger. A half-sister to Captain Guinness, it'll be disappointing if this Henry de Bromhead-trained six-year-old isn't involved towards the business end. Tell Nobody Nothin might be suited by this drop in trip and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to get involved. Barry Connell's Farrokh, the long absent Listenheretomejack, Clonmel third Baltinglass Hill and the first time blinkered Stily are others for the shortlist.
