FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A competitive affair, with just 7lb between nine of them on ratings. Dancing Tango, one of three Joseph O'Brien-trained representatives, leads the way on a mark of 103 and with Dylan Browne McMonagle aboard, she appears the leading hope from Owning Hill. Despite disappointing at Cork last time, her stable companion Thunder Roll also warrants respect in first time cheekpieces. Jessica Harrington is another to saddle three, with Shane Foley opting to partner Munster Oaks runner-up Trevaunance. For a selection, MAGICAL ZOE gets the nod. A fine fifth on her Flat debut at Cork in April, she since comfortably justified favouritism at Down Royal and will be suited by this step-up in trip. Lily Hart and Grateful are interesting contenders for Aidan O'Brien. Both get a weight allowance on account of their age, with the former impressing when successful on her most recent start.
