Formscan By Shane Redmond - There was give in the ground when MARGOT MAE (5) ran her best race to date and perhaps conditions will suit as she seeks her first success on her handicap debut. On her second start, she finished third over a distance close to today's on soft ground at Leopardstown, only a neck behind subsequent maiden and Group 3 winner Alpha. While she couldn't match that effort in a hot maiden on quick ground next time, this looks a lesser task. I Ready pipped today's rival Seven Nation Army to win a similar race to this over six furlongs at the Curragh and both clearly have their chance again. Bold Commander takes a considerable step up in trip after recent outings at Bellewstown and when a beaten favourite at the Curragh.
