Going - Good (good to firm places on round course). Overcast

Formscan By Gary Carson - NEO SMART was far from disgraced when fourth over a mile at Leopardstown last month and was kindly dropped 1lb. The four-year-old's sole victory came over this distance and she could return to winning ways. Touch The Sound made a pleasing handicap debut when a respectable fourth at Dundalk in December and is an interesting contender back on turf. Imperial Dream is the pick of the remainder.
