Formscan By Donal Murphy - It might be worth taking a chance on ANSWER ME NAY in this wide-open affair. After a tardy start, she warmed to her task on debut at Navan and while well-beaten, finished a never nearer fifth. Out of Group 3 winner Dingle View, she should come on a tonne for that debut effort, and with Wayne Hassett again claiming a valuable 7lb, a bold bid looks likely. Spicy Water is given second preference, dropping back in trip to six-furlongs. She attempted to make all over seven at Limerick and was only headed inside the final furlong there, eventually finishing fourth, a place ahead of subsequent winner Lady Craftsman. Chandigah ran a huge race to finish second at the Curragh on Derby weekend and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. A case can be made for many others, with West Of Wichita likely to prove popular after filling the runner-up spot on her last two starts. A Lilac Rolla is the most interesting of the newcomers set to take part, with the Paddy Twomey-trained bay closely-related to plenty of winners.
