Formscan By John O'Riordan - A consistent filly of late, MAKAIAH can register a first career win. Having suffered an interrupted passage when runner-up at this track on her penultimate start, Gerard O'Leary's four-year-old again had to settle for minor honours at Sligo last time. Racing in a similar grade here, the daughter of Bated Breath looks sure to play a leading role under Joey Sheridan. Second over hurdles on her latest two outings, Cleopatra's Needle gained her sole win on the Flat at this venue and will be a serious threat if her stamina holds out. Recent dual all-weather winner Fine Print has every chance if able to replicate that form back on grass.
