FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SASVANA has run well in three similar handicaps recently and is just 4lbs higher than when winning at Leopardstown in June. Progressive, she ran well in a big-field Leopardstown handicap on her latest run and is suited by trip and ground in this winneable race. Miss Jabeam's three wins and best form has all been over 6f but did stay on nicely at her first try at a mile at Killarney recently and should go well. Oh Purple Reign's three wins and best form have also been over 6f, in the UK, and has also shown a bit of form at a mile recently and can get involved under top weight. Scream was a Cork winner in June and stayed on from off the pace at Killarney latest while Raffaello's rating has dropped to a career low and ran well enough in a similar race at Gowran latest. Dragon Belle disappointed latest but has bits of previous form.
