Formscan By Alan Magee - PICTURE OF YOU was soundly beaten on both Flat runs last year but has taken well to hurdles this season and was only just denied on the latest of two starts. The Authorized filly just failed to peg back Tactical Affair on soft ground at Cork and is preferred to Jolie Coeur Allen who went off the 2/9 favourite when beaten by Soldante at Tramore last month. On the plus side, the winner gave a good account subsequently when third to Dysart Enos at Cheltenham. Joyau De Thaix and Nathan Wells both have placed form in Gowran maidens while Spasiba is an exciting recruit to hurdles. He landed a 1m2f Roscommon maiden in good style on soft ground for Paddy Twomey to earn a rating in the 90s and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the betting.
