Formscan By Shane Redmond - MASEGO (7) was a winner over this distance at Leopardstown in May and went well again on his first start for trainer John McConnell when third over a furlong less at Bellewstown two weeks ago. The runner-up in that race went very close to winning at Limerick since. While Numidia has finished well behind Masego twice already this season, he enjoyed another winning turn over a longer distance than this at Bellewstown and must come into the reckoning now. Top-weight Banna Three wasn't beaten all that far in a charity race at the Curragh late last month, his first start in over a year. Searcog went well on her seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown in April and goes back up in distance for this.

Quotes on Rising Sky (IRE)
Rising Sky has plenty of headgear on as when I only saw only nine runners, I said I’d throw the kitchen sink at her. Patrick’s 7lb claim was massive as well and thanks to Luke McAteer (jockey) who recommended him. We have some very good riders here and it is just a pity I haven't more horses to try to give them all rides. It is brilliant for the owners as she always had a hard luck story and a big thanks to the lads in the yard, as that's three winners in ten days.

Quotes on Numidia (IRE)
He pops up once a year like Father Christmas!. I was planning to go hurdling with him all the time, but we tried him out here today. There's not too many two-mile events anyway. He got it handy there for most of the way around, he wasn't hassled that much. He relaxed away and finished off well.
