Formscan By Gary Carson - Maarek has the form in the book but he looks best on a softer surface, and has to give weight away also, so looks to have a tough enough task. English raider JIMMY STYLES may be worth a shot as he comes into this off a good run at Newmarket and is a real good ground performer. He was only beaten half a length in this last year on similar ground. Tiddliwinks took this 12 months ago but was well behind Jimmy Styles at Newmarket last time and needs to recapture his best to have a chance. David Marnane saddles four here and jockey bookings would suggest that Nocturnal Affair is the first choice. He hasn't run since chasing home the improving Balmont Mast twice at Dundalk last Autumn and the ground here should be a plus for him as his best form has been on a sound surface. Leitir Mor performed his pacemaking duties well in the Guineas and could establish himself as a decent sprinter as he has plenty of pace. He looks sure to post a better effort than when behind Maarek at Naas and could sneak a place. Reply looks the pick of the Ballydoyle runners with Joseph booked. He's another returning from a pacemaker role in the Lockinge last week. It doesn't look the strongest representation from the country's top yard and he needs to improve.
