Formscan By Tom Weekes - LADY ARWEN comes here in excellent form and is 1lb lower than when second in a big-field Curragh handicap recently. Her winning form is on good ground but has placed on soft and competes from a career-low rating under her 5lb claimer. Starting Monday is ideally suited by soft and while in-form, might prefer a mile nowadays and is winless since March 2021. Dragon Of Malta hasn't won since September 2021 but excels on easy ground. He was well held here 10 days ago but that was his reappearance and can progress. Reappearing Royal Pippen has winning course-and-distance form on heavy but hasn't won since August 2021. Run The Jewels makes his reappearance but is also well suited by testing ground.
