Formscan By Michael Graham - ARDEEN JOY was in the process of challenging the leader when she fell at the last in a mares' maiden hurdle at Limerick and is well worth another chance. She showed steady progression on her three previous starts and represents Gordon Elliott who enjoys plenty of success at this venue. Spring Waltz could be a useful point-to-point graduate for Henry de Bromhead given how she won by six lengths 'between the flags' at Ballindenisk last month. A check for market strength is advised. Everyday Life makes her 'track' debut for Ian Donoghue after four point-to-point races culminating in a close second at Ballygogue in February. Miss Jocund is another de Bromhead representative pitching for prize money.
