Formscan By Donal Murphy - A pretty open contest, with FEATHERTOP the suggestion. A fine third on debut over the course and distance in June, she finished just a neck behind subsequent Dundalk victor Sandy Creek. Sure to come on plenty for that experience, the Jessica Harrington-trained selection can be expected to go close. Harrington saddles another interesting contender in the shape of Spirit Of Paradise. She made late headway on debut at Leopardstown and this step-up in trip is likely to suit. Placed four times from six starts, the 78-rated Letiza is given second preference. A staying on third at Killarney most recently, she was just three-parts of a length off subsequent dual victor Golden Spangle. Semantics is also rated 78 but was behind Letiza when they met at Navan in June. Not seen since finishing fourth on debut at the Curragh in October, Time To Boogie warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Nostringsattached, Lady Meis and debutant Uncanny.
