Formscan By Mark Nunan - It looked like MARSA didn’t quite stay 1m when fading into sixth at Bellewstown last time having hit the front at the furlong marker. The dual course winner has two victories over 7f on her ledger and can overcome being 2lb out of the handicap. Sistine Madonna was runner-up in a maiden at this venue before going one better at Gowran. She was second on handicap bow at Cork two months ago and comes into this a relatively fresh filly after a light campaign. Hodd’s Girl won three sprints here for Michael Halford and has won two of her first three starts for her new trainer. She showed that staying 7f was well within her compass when winning here a month ago but defying a 10lb rise might just be beyond her.
