FormscanBy Michael Graham - TALKING TOUGH is an each-way option. Michael Mulvany's charge hasn't been at his best in his last three starts but he is a different prospect in testing conditions. The handicapper is beginning to relent, so he can get involved. Indian Lilac has a lot going for her. She switched to James Dullea and won a big-field handicap at Leopardstown earlier in the month. She has stall one to work from and Seamie Heffernan has been booked again. In addition, she has back form on slower ground. The handicapper has given her 8lb for that half a length success, so improvement will be needed but there is every chance she will find it. Dilawara is the potential fly in the ointment. She won two races in her native France (including a handicap by eight lengths on heavy ground) and makes her Irish debut for Joseph O'Brien. The market should be informative.
