Going - Good, Good to Yielding in places. Fine but breezy

Formscan By Alan Magee - BAYOU BELLE has been a frustrating sort to follow and filled the runner-up spot three times here last summer. The Jarlath Fahey-trained mare has been stepped up a bit in trip this year and again went close at Kilbeggan last month with Maid On The Moon four and a half lengths behind in third. Lillian Bland has won both over hurdles and fences this year and had Joueuse Royale over two lengths behind in second, with Maid On The Moon in fourth, when scoring over 2m6f at Downpatrick. Music Of Life and Tiffiny’s Girl are others to consider.
