Going - Good, good to firm in places. Fine

Formscan By John O'Riordan - Topweight GIRL LIKE YOU should be able to follow up her recent win at this track. Although only getting up late to win by half-a-length on that occasion, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly looked to have a bit in hand. Stepping up an additional furlong now should also enable her to improve sufficiently to overcome an 8lb rise. Nyman, who finished fifth in that aforementioned contest, is entitled to get much closer at these revived weights. The Earthlight colt had run well over 7f on his previous start so is another that should appreciate the longer trip. Sweet Chariot has to be respected off a mark of 74, with blinkers fitted for the first time. Headgear can often bring about significant improvement in some of the stable lesser lights.
