Going - Yielding (Straight); Good to Yielding, Yielding in places (Round). Overcast, threat of showers; breezy

Formscan By Gary Carson - RED LETTER comes here on a roll and can take another step up the ladder. The Frankel filly has bagged Listed and Group 3 prizes on her last two starts and was good when winning over nine furlongs here on her last start. Going another furlong now should be no problem and she is versatile ground-wise. One Look is an obvious danger and has already bagged two Group 3 races here this term. The latest was on her first try over this trip and she stayed the trip well. The consistent Snellen was a game winner at Leopardstown on her last start and should be in the mix again here.
