FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Group 2 winner LEO DE FURY comes here in excellent form. His career form is generally consistent and smart and while his latest Dundalk win was over 1m4f, last year's Mooresbridge Stakes win was at today's distance and he represents a yard in flying form. Georgeville was a close sixth in a hot Group 2 here last month and while his is best form is at a mile, he was won at this trip in the past and should go close. Amma Grace is the top adjusted-rated runner but was well enough held on her latest starts in hot contests. Bear Story beat Lough Derg to win at Dundalk last month although both horses face stiffer tasks today. April Showers disappointed on her latest run but has strong prospects if reproducing her prior form, having finished second at Cork in September and finishing second in a Group 2 over this trip in July. Up Helly Aa was gelded prior to his recent Cork run so some improvement from that run is possible and while capable at this level, might find a few too strong. Layfayette and Finans Bay are in form but have plenty to find at these weights while Mythical reappears over a trip short of his best. %0A%0A
