Going - Good, good to firm in places. Overcast with showers

Formscan By John O'Riordan - The Richard O'Brien-trained METAMORPHEUS can register a first win on the Flat. Successful over hurdles for former connections, the six-year-old has long given the impression that he could be well handicapped back on the level. However, having failed to deliver on such expectations to date, the Morpheus gelding drops back in trip here. Racing keenly, before weakening to finish fourth in a stronger race at Limerick last month, he is certainly worth a chance over this distance. Wih Colin Keane a significant booking, Dundalk winner Gardone has to be respected for the Eric McNamara stable. Second at Gowran Park on her penultimate start, Suityourselfboss is a mare who arrives here in better form than most.
