Going - Heavy, soft to heavy in places. Overcast with showers

Formscan By Gary Carson - KING IN LOVE ran well in a competitive event at Leopardstown over Christmas and can take this now. Sean Aherne’s charge stayed on well when third to The Nagger Reidy and stepping up almost two furlongs now looks like it should be right up his street. Sarah Beara was a touch unlucky in running when fifth at Limerick last time and off just a pound higher mark she could be a danger now. A Nod To Getaway switches back to hurdles off a 5lb lower mark and is another for the shortlist.
