Formscan By Dan McEvoy - Donnacha O’Brien’s trio seems to be headed by ENTHUSIASTICALLY based on jockey bookings and she showed up positively for a long way in a Curragh maiden before fading late on debut. This daughter of Ten Sovereigns has had two quieter runs since and an opening mark of 58 may prove lenient alongside the application of first time cheekpiece. Glamazon arguably holds the strongest form in the race with an improvement in each performance she may have shown her hand more so than others in this field. Gas Works Wall was heavily supported in the market on her second start but failed to justify it after running green and the latest addition of cheekpieces made her too keen last time out. She shouldn’t be discounted, and market support would signify confidence. Both Sapphire Dream and Luna Beaux should also be watched in the betting beforehand coming from shrewd yards.
An extended handicap for two years old only (70 = 9st 12lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
