Formscan - EARLS has caught the eye on both starts at the Curragh this season, with a fifth in the Irish Lincolnshire backed up by an agonising defeat last Saturday. Despite being 2lb higher and dropping back a furlong, Gavin Cromwell's seven-year-old should relish these conditions and take advantage of what may be a decent bit of placement. Sparks Fly was one of the stories of 2023, winning on eight occasions including a Listed contest in France, but she will need to be at her very best to defy a rating of 107. With that in mind, the main dangers could prove to be Rainbow Fire, who won this contest off the same mark 12 months ago, and Gweedore.
