Formscan By Mark Nunan - Aidan O’Brien and Wayne Lordan are going for three in a row in this maiden and Cosmetic, who had Pleased behind her when runner-up at Fairyhouse last time, has obvious claims. Pleased had previously finished ahead of Porters Corner when the pair were placed at the Curragh, but the latter may improve enough from that debut to turn the tables. Preference, though, is for STELLAR MOMENT (16) who wasn’t found wanting for stamina when stepping up to this trip at Limerick. Narrowly beaten on the occasion, the daughter of Ulysees can go one better on her fourth career start. %0A
