FormscanBy Donal Murphy - On ratings this should be straightforward for Darrens Hope. However, she is better over further and may need this run returning from a short break. INFLUENTIAL LADY is race fit and has been ultra-consistent of late. The versatile eight-year-old was an easy winner at Tramore on her most recent start over fences, coming home nine-and-a-half lengths clear of Hollymount. That one since gave the form a boost by finishing a fine second here on Sunday. The selection was last seen over flights at Ballinrobe and while she ultimately couldn't reel-in the front-running Kitty Galore, she did go 11-lengths clear of the third. Motown Maggie was fifth in that Ballinrobe contest and warrants respect here with Davy Russell aboard, while Hope Des Blins and Optional Mix are other leading contenders.
