FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MORE WINE LILLY is dependable and progressive and runs over an ideal trip and ground. A winner here on good ground in October, she has form on soft ground and should prove competitive from 1lb higher than when third at Gowran last month. Temptationinmilan is winless from 10 starts but has been running well recently and has obvious form claims, dropping back to a suitable trip. Ben Thomson has been running well from today's mark in recent runs and has sound place claims while Sargent Lightfoot wasn't beaten too far at Thurles latest. Chelseas Friend was in fine form this summer but might ideally prefer further on her reappearance run while Crackaway disappointed on his latest run but did win at Sligo in October. Point-to-point winner Steelers Appeal ran well at Punchestown last month and while dropping slightly in trip isn't ideal, has claims if reproducing that form.
