Formscan By Michael Graham - RIVER ARA should be effective off a mark of 80 with Jack Cleary's 5lb claim factored in. She has a notable piece of form in the book when runner-up in a fillies' maiden at Cork last month behind a subsequent Group 3 winner. She then stayed on for third when upped in trip to 1m on her next visit to Cork. Cherry Hill Girl forged on well for a wide-margin success over 1m on heavy ground in Listowel and any rain will be music to her ears. Invincible Will has plenty of experience and made the breakthrough when last seen at the Curragh, while Hamiyan's last two placed efforts bring him into the mix.
