Formscan By Tom Weekes - Keen-going TRACHONITIS likes testing ground and ran well on his reappearance following a 141-days layoff recently. Out of a Group 3 winner and a half-brother to a Listed winner, he bumped into Paddington at Naas last March and having run well against a seasoned campaigner at Galway, should again run well from 4lb higher. Something Nice is also suited by soft and while he beat the selection 4.25 lengths at Naas in April, is 5lb worse off and is marginally more exposed. Sheyya has run just twice this year but caught the eye when finishing well here in August. She is unproven on soft but should improve at this distance and has dropped 4lb. Seven-time winner Sirjack Thomas continues in fine form and likes easy ground but isn't ahead of the handicapper. Colin Keane rides Catena Zapata but is probably best watched on reappearance against race-fit rivals while Encosta disappointed 13 days ago but has place claims on earlier form.%0A

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (90 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
