FormscanBy Michael Graham - PENNINE HILLS is a major contender. She was an impressive winner of a Dundalk barrier trial before graduating to the racetrack to win well from the front in Fairyhouse. The well-bred runner-up (Concert Hall) was punted down to odds-on on debut but was beaten two and a half lengths. She franked the form on Sunday when winning a good fillies' maiden at the Curragh. Impeachd Alexander might be the biggest danger as she took the scalp of Ladies Church (fourth) in Cork and the latter went on to beat Orinoco River three parts of a length into second at Tipperary. British-raider Sophie's Star brings plenty of experience into battle and rarely runs a bad race, however, this looks tougher than the novice stakes races she has been plying her trade in.
