Going - Yielding (yielding to soft places on hurdle track, good to yielding places on chase course). Overcast

Formscan By Alan Magee - FROM THE ASHES hails from a yard in good form at present and appears to be on a reasonable mark. The selection filled third spot behind Lonesome Boatman in the Cork National and again showed his liking for a test of stamina when placed behind Joyau De Thaix over hurdles at the Limerick Christmas meeting. Found A Diamond has progressed well since stepped up in trip and added to a Thurles maiden win when successful over 3m1f at Navan last month. The Lovely Man is another for the shortlist having won in decisive fashion over fences on the same Navan card, while Bal Kauto and Dippedinmoonlight are others to consider.
