Going - Good to Yielding, Yielding in places; changed to Yielding, Good to Yielding in places after Race 5. Overcast, some light showers

Formscan By Donal Murphy - Highly tried since her maiden win at Dundalk in February, SPICY MARGARITA is of definite interest on her handicap debut. In first time blinkers, the chestnut three-year-old will be ridden by Sam Coen who claims a valuable 7lb. Towards the bottom of the handicap, Empress Artemis is an obvious danger. Last seen finishing second of 20 over the course and distance, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better now. Like the selection, Dawn Spirit also starts off in handicap company and it'll be interesting to see how she fares in first time cheekpieces. Gowran winner Declaree and the Fozzy Stack-trained Varshini are others for the shortlist in this competitive heat.
