FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SKILLED WARRIOR has good form on easy ground and is proven in similar handicaps. His runs have been consistently good and having won a Roscommon maiden in August, was beaten 2L in a Cork handicap last month and is a dependable type. Rebel Step finished 0.25L ahead of the selection at Cork but was beaten at Dundalk subsequently and now races without his previous rider's 10lbs claim. Lust disappointed in the Cambridgeshire in August but has had a break since and seems to have a preference for soft ground, which will help today. New Hill is chasing a hat-trick and has form on easy ground but now competes from a career high mark. Black Cat Bobby has done well this year but competes from a high level now while another Galway festival winner Sherkin Island was well held at Punchestown last month. Aurora Princess, another Galway festival 'winner', has also done well this term but was well held at Punchestown. Stellar Spirit has shown consistently useful form and while in form, is as yet unproven on soft ground.
