FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A typically competitive renewal of this Listed contest, with eight winners in the line-up. It would come as a surprise if Deo Bellator, La Mystere or Three Thirds were to prevail but a case can be made for the other eleven contenders. EILISE'S A LADY is the only dual winner in the field and she might be able to maintain her unbeaten record. A surprise winner on debut at Kilbeggan, she showed that was no fluke by following up at Galway, lowering the colours of the well-regarded Hallowed Star. Purple Mountain is given second preference after the form of her Killarney success received a significant boost. The Willie Mullins trained bay beat Colonel Mustard into second at the Co Kerry venue and he since won well at Punchestown on Wednesday. Sheer Liss and Lady Heath renew rivalry after finishing first and second in a good quality contest at Down Royal in August and there is likely to be little between them again here. Razzle Dazzle Love, Raven Rule and Monas Melody are the other winners in the mix and they all warrant respect.
