FormscanBy Donal Murphy - It might be worth taking a chance on BOLERO in this wide-open heat. The daughter of Power hasn't been the most consistent but is capable of making her presence felt if putting her best foot forward. A good third on her handicap debut over the course and distance, she since disappointed when upped in trip to a mile and six at Navan. Back to a mile-and-a-half now and returning to the Curragh, an improved performance can be expected. Handicap debutant Lady Ironside is given second preference. The daughter of Lawman has some solid form to her name and it'll be disappointing if she is not involved towards the business end. Recent hurdles winner Perry Owens is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Stellify, Duchess Ravenwaves, Pikaia and Liars Corner are other for the shortlist.
