Formscan By Stuart Howden - Dallas Star proved he stays at least 1m6f when chasing home Kyprios in the Saval Beg Stakes at Leopardstown, but POETIC SOUND also ran well behind the now-retired champion stayer in the Vintage Crop Stakes and has that little bit more scope for improvement. Goodie Two Shoes was a class apart from her rivals also over 1m6f at Gowran last time and previously was placed in Listed company with third in the Noblesse Stakes at Cork. La Isla Mujeres comfortably beat Cristal Clere in the Lenebane Stakes at Roscommon last summer and it will be interesting to see how she copes with this step in trip after an absence of over nine months.
