FormscanBy Michael Graham - Competitive although there are ground concerns for several horses. KING ARTHURS SWORD showed the benefit of a wind operation when powering home over this race distance at Leopardstown on Saturday. He enjoyed himself on the soft ground and the 7lb penalty shouldn't stop him if he is in the same mood. Colin Keane stays loyal from the weekend. Newgirlintown has winning form over this trip and arrives on the back of a runner-up berth over an extended 1m at Killarney. The winner of that race has gone in again at Leopardstown. Derry Lad is running consistently and looks set to be involved at the business end. Chatterbox was beaten a neck into second at Killarney which brings her into contention. Speckled Meadow and Lucky Queen are among others with chances.
