Formscan By Shane Redmond - MAIRE RUA (7) looked a very decent prospect when overcoming a wide draw to score on her debut over this course and distance back in July and should be up to winning this. Easily forgiven her run at Cork last time where nothing went her way, she can bounce back to score at the main expense of the once-raced Timeless Tale who steps up in distance after her taking debut win at Naas. Ibelieveicanfly impressed when winning her maiden at the Curragh on her fourth start and she wasn't beaten all that far when fourth in a Group 2 over the same seven furlongs last time.
