Formscan By Stuart Howden - It's hard to ignore the claims of AREANA. The six-year-old sported first-time blinkers on her first start for the Hartys at Naas and bolted up. Even a 9lb rise might underestimate the level of authority she displayed that day and the daughter of Pride Of Dubai will prove a tough nut to crack. Evangelic makes his handicap/stable debut after showing ability in his four career starts, so he is one to watch out for. Of the remainder, God Knows makes the most appeal.%0A%0A
