FormscanBy Michael Graham - A tricky contest. FLORA ought to appreciate this step up in trip. She was backed down to 11/8 favourite for her debut at Naas in April in which she came home fourth. Both of the placed horses in that race have since shed their maiden tags. She is a sister of US Army Ranger who won a Group 3 over a mile and a half. There is a race in McPherson and his trainer Jessica Harrington is in blistering form. He is tried in a visor after a trio of third-placed efforts. Rekero tries a mile and a half after keeping on for second over an extended nine furlongs in Gowran Park. Flora's stablemate Catch and Empyrea are others with chances. National Hunt winners Merlin Giant, Dani Barcelona and Ricky Bobby add further spice to the mix.
