FormscanBy Gary Carson - HANDSWORTH got home in a tight finish at Navan last time and may be able to follow up despite a 6lb rise. He edged out Siberian Star by half a length last month to open his account and the form received a significant boost when the runner-up went on to win by a wide margin at Leopardstown over Christmas. School Lane comes here in fine form and should be better suited by this trip having got up late on to score over half a mile shorter at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day. He looks a danger after just a 4lb rise for that victory. Norwigi hasn't shown much on her two chase starts to date but it will be interesting to see how she fares now tackling handicap company.
