Formscan By Michael Graham - There could be plenty of pace on here which could suit EL C WELLS who made a winning start to life with Paul Mulligan in a staying handicap at Navan last month. She is up 7lb but, crucially, remains in the same 47-65 bracket. In-form jockey Kevin Sexton has been booked. Numidia scorched his rivals by six lengths in Fairyhouse, so is sure to be popular off 9lb higher. Charlie Luciano is more known for his exploits over hurdles, but held on by a head over 1m4f in Fairyhouse just over a fortnight ago which brings him into contention. Evening's Empire is another one for the shortlist.
