FormscanBy Michael Graham - FASCINATING SPIRIT won over this trip in Cork and could go in again. She was rated a lowly 44 ahead of that assignment, but travelled smoothly and put her 13 rivals away by a couple of lengths. Afterwards, her trainer said that she wants nice ground which she is due to get in Listowel. She has gone up 8lbs in the weights, but jockey Joe Doyle is reunited with her and everything looks in place for a big run. Ask Delaney is the other recent winner in the field having scored at Tipperary last week. A hood seems to have brought about some improvement, as when it was first deployed in Cork he finished a very close fourth before scoring in Tipperary. His chance is respected. Wayne Lordan is an interesting booking for Strategic Fortune who was a never nearer sixth in Limerick. He could outrun his odds here.
