FormscanBy Michael Graham - There are ground concerns over several of these. One who goes well on rain-softened ground is MI ESPERANZA. She won a sprint handicap at Tipperary in June after which her trainer, Andrew Kinsella, said that she needs soft ground. She was then fourth on better ground at Navan less than a week later. She has a low draw to mount her challenge from and a 7lb claimer booked to bring her down to a 'fighting weight'. Pretty Smart signalled a return to form when third at Fairyhouse. She will likely be played late from the outside draw and can make her presence felt. Jack Davison's horses earn their keep, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Glow Worm get in the money, particularly after a decent runner-up berth in Limerick. Powersville is one from one in a sprint at this track, and any drying ground would be in her favour.
