Formscan By Michael Graham - GREAT WHITE SHARK looks the part switching to the flat from hurdling. She is on a hat-trick after two victories over flights, including by 11 lengths in a three-mile contest at Wexford despite some unconvincing jumps. It is worth noting that she won two races on the level at Doncaster for James Fanshawe back in the summer of 2017. A hood goes on for the first time today. Remarkable Lady faced a very stiff task at 50/1 on seasonal debut in a Listed contest at Gowran Park. She came in last of the five runners but can step up on that effort here. Bit Of Banter put in a decent shift for fifth in the 50 grand lady riders handicap at Leopardstown. She has plenty of form over a mile and a half, particularly from last autumn, and can lift a good cheque.
