Formscan By Michael Graham - ASTELIA made a very pleasing reappearance from a long absence when runner-up behind an odds-on favourite over hurdles in Listowel at the start of the month, and that should leave her cherry ripe for this assignment. She ran well in Curragh maidens a few years ago. Plenty of winners have come out of the maiden that Boxing Great finished fourth in at Dundalk last summer and he is a notable opponent on his return to action for a new stable. A change to prominent-racing tactics saw First Ascent just pipped by a nose in a maiden over a shorter trip at this track last month, while Light Up The Dark and Stariam are other contenders for prize money.
