Formscan By Donal Murphy - A dual winner on the level in the UK, WHIMSY has race fitness on her side and might be able to claim this wide open affair. Campaigned solely over flights since joining Anthony McCann's yard, she has filled the runner-up spot on four of her seven starts to date. Sure to return to hurdling in due course, she looks well-treated here off a mark of 69 and with Seamie Heffernan aboard, it'll be disappointing if she fails to make an impact. Handicap debutants Carlo Bianconi, Bay Of Sanibel, Young Lucy and Neptunes Staircase are all of interest. The Joseph O'Brien-trained former didn't look the most genuine when second at Dundalk in January and may need headgear to be seen at his best. There was just a neck between Bay Of Sanibel and Neptunes Staircase at Navan in October and they are both likely to prove popular with punters, while others of interest are Nostringsattached, Narlita and St Faz.
