FormscanBy Gary Carson - Three-year-olds have a good record recently in this and a 10lb pull at this time of year looks a big plus. Oaks runner-up ENNISTYMON ran much better at Gowran last time after a disappointing show at the Curragh and stepping up in trip now should suit. The daughter of Galileo stayed on nicely when second to stable-mate Laburnum last time and a test of stamina now can bring out the best in her. Seamie Heffernan sides with Passion here and she is officially rated equal to her stable-mate on 107. She was third in the Irish Oaks and ran a solid race to fill the same position behind Tarnawa in Group 3 company at Cork last time. She also tackles this trip for the first time so it will be interesting to see if it can bring further improvement. The four-year-old Kastasa is the one to beat on the book and is entitled to improve from her comeback victory at Gowran Park last month. She developed into a really smart stayer last season and gets further than this so will be doing her best work at the finish.
