Formscan By Donal Murphy - Many of these disappointed when last seen, with CHOSEN SHANT being one of them. Up to a career high mark of 107 after back to back wins at Wexford, she finished down the field at Listowel on her latest start. She mightn't have enjoy the testing conditions at the Kerry circuit and back on quick ground now, an improved performance can be expected. In truth, a case can be made for almost the entire field, with top-weight Jeaniemacaroney sure to have plenty of supporters. A beaten favourite at Kilbeggan on her latest start, it'll be interesting to see if the application of cheekpieces have the desired effect on Smiling Bess. Already twice successful this season, Queenofthelodge warrants the utmost respect, while course winner Colleen Danu and Leah's Contessa are others for the shortlist.
