Formscan By Michael Graham - LIFE IN COLOUR has been placed on her last three starts and can make the breakthrough. She could make no impression in third in the final furlong of a 7f fillies' maiden at Cork so should enjoy this drop back in trip. She has an eye-catching piece of form when third behind runner-up Toy (who is now a classic contender) at the Curragh last season. Tiny Bit ran very creditably for second, beaten by half a length, in Tipperary. She has the plum draw in stall one and is fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Jake Coen takes 7lb off her back again. Chestnutter lacks a recent run but she has plenty of form in her juvenile campaign to note. Butterfly Island is highest rated on 81 and drops back in trip following a seasonal reappearance third over 7f at Gowran Park. Wild Eyed Girl was just behind Tiny Bit at Tipperary and can get in the mix. Lady Kabeir and Gallow Hill are far from out of it.
