FormscanBy Michael Graham - DARK VEGA catches the eye stepping up in trip after keeping on to be placed in her last three outings. She ran on strongly for second in Punchestown last month and has gone well on deep ground before. Aidan O'Brien's Forever And Always enters handicap company off a mark of 74 and didn't run badly when fourth over a similar trip on soft ground in a fillies' maiden at Galway last month. She is a sister of the stable's top-class The Gurkha and, while things haven't worked out for her yet, she could do some damage off this mark. Sir Allen clearly relishes testing conditions and stayed on well to come home third over 1m4f at Listowel. This is tougher, but he could improve. Saturn Five is up in trip and hasn't raced on ground slower than good to yielding, however, he won over 1m1f at Punchestown and the runner-up has boosted the form. Zoffman is another with claims.
