Formscan By Donal Murphy - It might be worth taking a chance on BIGZ BELIEF in this weak affair. Better known for his exploits over flights, the seven-year-old returns to the level for the first time since November. While he hasn't been setting the world alight of late, he is a four time winner and can make an impact here off a mark of 49. Elsa's Pride and Black Soul are more obvious contenders, with the former just failing to get up at Fairyhouse on her most recent start. A winner at Cork last season, the 61-rated four-year-old will be well-fancied to take this. Black Soul filled the runner-up spot over the course and distance in August of last year, finishing seventh on his recent return to action at Limerick. The highest rated runner in the field, it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Hinemoa, Struck By Churchill and Crypto Crash are others for the shortlist.
