FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FARAAH's wheels may have been spinning somewhat on rain-softened ground at Cork latest and is interesting on all-weather debut. A well-bred 200,000gns yearling purchase by Phoenix Thoroughbred, her best form is on a sound surface at this trip and having won in September, is in good form and is a little unexposed as a 3yo. Noirvento beat the selection to win on yielding ground at Sligo in June and while Noirvento has been beaten since, did finish in mid-field in Curragh handicap recently and should get involved from her mark. 34-race maiden King's View is honing in on an elusive maiden win having run well on his latest starts but might bump into a few too good despite having the inside draw. Caesar's Comet would prefer a longer trip these days but is in good form while Sunset Nova is capable at this level and again shoulders top weight today. Six-time winner Brave Display was well enough on his latest runs.
