FormscanBy Gary Carson - BRAVE LADY was given a stiff task on her return to action at Aintree last month, in a Grade 2 contest, and this looks like a more suitable target now. The Vadamos mare ran well when third on her debut at Galway last summer and a repeat of that showing may be enough to land a race of this standard. The Joseph O’Brien-trained newcomer Land Me Safe commands respect. The yard won a bumper with her full-brother, Walk On The Beach, a couple of years ago. Aodha’s Arrow shaped with promise on a couple of outings last summer and is another that has to come into calculations.
