FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Triple-point-to-point winner DESERT HEATHER has form and will be suited by reverting to three-miles. She wears a first-time tongue-tie, which is a concern, but was running a nice race when falling (although admittedly beaten) in a better race at Fairyhouse and ran well at Punchestown last month, where the fifth-horse won subsequently. Friends N Commerce chased home well-handicapped Verdant Place in a January handicap and has claims despite being vulnerable to more capable types. Once-promising but problem-plagued Fantasio D'alene has burst blood vessels on his last three runs and returns from 428 days off. Easy Fell and Japers Jack have been running well but might bump into a few too strong. Fortunefavorsdbold holds Apples In Winter on Clonmel form. Points winner Like Ta Ma steps up in distance while Mag Dillane debuts over hurdles.
