Formscan By Donal Murphy - The well-bred NELDA is taken to reverse Naas form with Pier Pressure. There was just a short head between them at the Tipper Road venue, with the selection since finishing a respectable sixth in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse. Bought for E230,000 as a yearling, she might be able to take advantage of her favourable draw in four. The aforementioned Pier Pressure is drawn out in 10 and steps up in trip to seven-furlongs after being placed on his first two starts. There was plenty of market confidence behind the Kingman bay on both occasions and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to make the breakthrough now. Livio Milo is the other standout name in the line-up. A runner-up no less than four times, he would be a deserving winner, however he has a wide draw to overcome and is rated 8lb inferior to the selection. Caulaincourt and Brave Thought are others capable of making an impact.
