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

Formscan By John O'Riordan - Although a beaten favourite at Leopardstown last time ARK is worth sticking with. The Ballydoyle filly has gone close on her last two starts and if the addition of first-time blinkers can bring out a little extra then she should be good enough now. Selador shaped with a degree of promise on her debut at Dundalk and with the winner subsequently placing in Group 3 company that form now looks even better. Joseph O'Brien's filly needs to prove her effectiveness on turf but if anything, she may just improve for the switch. River Rain faced a stiff task on her seasonal reappearance but on her sole maiden run last year she would be a live contender. Both Star Angel and Eyaziya are entitled to come on from their most recent starts.
