FormscanBy Michael Graham - ADMIRAL D has a shot at ruling with 10lb-claimer Jake Coen lessening his burden. It is worth noting that this Listowel maiden winner was beaten just over six lengths into mid-division of the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. He has had a break since underperforming at the Curragh in July. It's Snowing could show up well for Jessica Harrington and Shane Foley. She got off the mark on her penultimate start in Dundalk before finishing a fair third at Fairyhouse. That run can be viewed in a better light after the fourth home won a nursery in Navan. Pulse Of Poppy has shown speed off the front in both starts. She came in third at Navan behind the useful Giselles Ausie (who runs in the 2.15 race) and then fourth in Dundalk. She is drawn to attack from stall one. Messa Concertata is another to consider.
