Formscan By Tom Weekes - Ballydoyle's UNITED FRONT looks capable of bettering his 90 rating and is the pick here. He was beaten at 4/7f in a Navan maiden last June and while well held in the Chesham subsequently at Royal Ascot, there was no disgrace in that effort behind Pinatubo and he proven his worth with an easy Dundalk maiden win last February. He is no star but looks on an attractive mark today. Siamese similarly easily won her Dundalk maiden last September and is clearly capable. She has plenty on her plate today though from top weight (albeit her rider claims 3lbs) and might bump into a few better handicapped horses. Leadership Race didn't show much in maidens but won twice at this trip at Dundalk last October and while his return to the turf is a small concern, he could maintain some more progression at this trip. Champers Elysees' best form last year was on testing ground but she her only run on fast ground was encouraging and she can go well. Music To My Ears and Hieroglyphic were both maiden winners at this trip at Dundalk last year and are both interesting in their respective handicap debuts. The King Of Kells is proven in handicaps but might no be ahead of the handicapper while Layfayette was second in the valuable Foran Final on his latest start, which was on testing ground, but was previously a fast ground winner and should go well today on handicap debut.
