Formscan By Gary Carson - CORNAHILT SOLDIER has a nice weight in this and can bag a deserved win after a couple of solid runner-up efforts. She chased home Sluice over seven furlongs at Down Royal last time in testing conditions having also filled the same position at that track previously on better ground. Going a bit further may help her now. She gets a nice lump of weight from Admiral Mae, who was a good third at Fairyhouse last time. The U S Navy Flag gelding finished off well that day when going down by a length to Siegel and should appreciate going back up to a mile now. The Dermot Weld-trained Brosna Town looks one to note in the market on his debut. The Awtaad gelding is a half-brother to listed winner Moll.
