FormscanBy Michael Graham - A good race for the grade. CRYSTAL POOL might be able to build upon a narrow victory over course and distance this month. She relished switching from the Polytrack to contest that handicap on rain-softened ground as she stayed on well to get up on the line. The handicapper has administered 9lb, but Dylan Browne McMonagle offsets 5lb with his claim. She has another low draw to get into a decent position from. Legal Thriller ran on strongly to get to within a short head of the winner in Killarney and has to be feared. That winner, Angel's Trumpet, also comes back for more and should perform well despite another tough draw. Odd Venture won nicely off the front in Cork over further and would certainly be dangerous if working his way to the lead from stall seven.
