Formscan - Carrigeen Kampala shed her maiden tag at the second time of asking over hurdles when romping home at Stratford last month, but life will be tougher here now saddled with a 7lb penalty in what looks a deeper contest. Therefore, a chance is taken on MAIRIS ICON. Seamus Mullins' filly posted her best effort to date with a third-placed finish over C&D a fortnight ago and a similar level of performance may suffice, with last-time-out runner-up Ede'iffs Rock another worthy alternative.
