FormscanBy Michael Graham - DENSE STAR was mightily impressive in Navan and has prospects of following up. She scorched her rivals by six lengths over that extended five furlongs and, if in the same mood, will be a tough nut to crack. She has plenty of solid form banked this season including when second and fourth respectively behind subsequent Pattern winners Steel Bull and Miss Amulet. New Treasure was a revelation when delivering at 66/1 in a Group 3 at the Curragh. He'll be absolutely nowhere near that price for this assignment. That victory came on very testing going and he now encounters much better ground, but is a major threat. Finest has been highly tried since winning her maiden by a nose in Limerick. It wouldn't be a surprise to see her involved at the business end, in first-time blinkers. Dickiedooda is highest rated on 99 and has been keeping good company. She has her chance.
