Formscan By Tom Weekes - XERLING is quirky but has ability and is well suited by this distance on good ground. Bred for sprinting, the selection was keen as a juvenile and while she swished her tail in a Naas maiden last August, was well behaved when finishing second to a useful winner at Navan last month. She holds today’s rival Grande Curvee on that form. Sparky Sparky disappointed at today’s course in May but had run well in a course-and-distance maiden in April and wasn’t beaten too far in a Curragh handicap 11 days ago. Well-bred Khafar debuts for new connections dropping in trip while Cactus is exposed.
