Formscan By Donal Murphy - While Sayitfirst is out of her depth, there is very little between the other three on ratings. MA BELLE ETOILE scoped dirty after disappointing on her chase debut over the course and distance in May, but since bounced back to form at Wexford. Easily accounting for six rivals at the Bettyville circuit, she had a subsequent winner back in third. Successful in Grade 2 company over hurdles, Enjoy The Dream is without a win in six starts since switching to the larger obstacles. Beaten by just half a length over the course and distance on her latest outing, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better now. Luminous Light is the only gelding in the line-up and after a recent pipe-opener on the level at Galway, this four-time winner can't be dismissed.
