Formscan By Michael Graham - This race is about whether a marked drop in class sparks the 113-rated EXPANDED back into form. He went into last winter with an enhanced reputation after just being beaten by a neck in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket in October. He has had two runs this season in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Curragh, and finished out the back in both. If he relishes this company, he ought to take plenty of beating. The admirable Fiery Lucy had a tough draw in Galway but, prior to that, had been very consistent. This is a tricky task for Queen Of The Bogs, but she did win a Curragh maiden by almost five lengths so she is one to note.
