Formscan By Gary Carson - There could be more to come from NANCEE SPAIN this season. The Calyx filly really blossomed on her final start last term, after some promising efforts, when scoring by a wide margin in Roscommon. She looked like a strong galloper in testing conditions that day and the big track here should play to her strengths. Neptunes Staircase was also an impressive winner at Roscommon on his last start but that did come back in July 2024. Ger Lyons is sure to have him fairly fit for his return though and he’s respected. Factual Fact was narrowly denied in a maiden here last November, by a smart mare in Switch From Diesel, and he is another for the shortlist.
