FormscanBy Michael Graham - PIER PRESSURE looked a big threat over 1m at this track, but his effort petered out in the final furlong so this drop back in trip could work the oracle. Hokusai has shown an aptitude for heavy ground but, being by Raven's Pass, ought to relish this all-weather surface while there was a lot to like about Local Girl's runner-up berth over course and distance last month. She travelled well before giving best to the winner by a length and a-quarter. Ado McGuinness is well able to conjure victories from his British imports and Fahari makes her debut for him after posting a couple of placed efforts for Simon Crisford. Hasiyna makes her Dundalk debut and the balance of her turf form gives her claims.
