FormscanBy Alan Magee - HEARTS ARE TRUMPS has an experience edge over many of his rivals here having progressed nicely in handicaps last year winning three times in or around this trip. He ran a cracker when a close-up fourth to Wonder Laish in the valuable BarOneRacing.com Handicap at Fairyhouse and shaped better than his finishing position would suggest last time at the Dublin Racing Festival. This looks a good piece of placing getting weight from most of his rivals. Mister Blue Sky was bought for a six-figure sum after winning four times on the Flat for Sylvester Kirk, and could hardly have won much easier on his only start for present connections in a maiden at Wexford last October. It will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market. Chosen Mate won a Grade 2 over course and distance a fortnight ago but has a stiff task under his penalty, while Gallant John Joe may find this trip a bit sharp.
