Formscan By Michael Graham - This is a drop in class that DREAM TODAY can take advantage of. It is worth noting that he travelled notably well on the beach last year before winning by more than two lengths. He landed that race off a mark of 80 and effectively returns to Laytown off 69 with Cian MacRedmond's claim factored in. He is the only Laytown winner in the field which is a big advantage. Transcendental is dropping down the weights and looks to be on a decent mark as just four runs back she won a quality handicap in the Curragh off 1lb higher. Aloysius Lilius won on his penultimate start in Tipperary and is capable of going well. James McAuley fields Sunday Sovereign and Jaafel, and neither can be ruled out. The former would be particularly dangerous if given rope off the front.
