Going - Soft; changed to Soft to Heavy after Race 3. Showery

Formscan By Mark Nunan - Dual hurdles winner JOHN THE DIVA has a preference for right-handed tracks and is better judged on his seasonal-debut second at Gowran than his unplaced effort in a Navan handicap last time. The nine-year-old goes well on testing ground so if the forecast rain arrives before this opening contest, it will enhance his prospects. Brucejack was a long way behind the selection at Gowran and would prefer a longer trip, but he is a very experienced handicapper over fences and has to be respected. Additional Time is a point-to-point and hurdles winner and has to enter calculations on his first chase start, while well-bred point winner Banter At The Bar is another to note.
