FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Not a vintage renewal of this Listed heat. Joseph O'Brien saddles three of the eight declared, with Dylan Browne McMonagle opting to partner Soft Winds. Successful on soft ground in her native France, she has yet to win since arriving in Ireland, but ran her best race for quite some time when third in the Ruby Stakes at Killarney last month. For a selection, it might be worth taking a chance on NORWALK HAVOC. A proven performer on testing ground, he has yet to recapture his best form this season, but he is still the second highest rated runner in the line-up and is the choice of Shane Foley. With Colin Keane back on board, Noli Timere could bounce back from a disappointing Champions Weekend effort, while Cristal Clere and Mataariki are others for the shortlist.
