FormscanBy Michael Graham - LILANDRA will be a prohibitive price but is very hard to get away from. She had clearly been showing up well at home as she went off 7/4 joint favourite to make a winning debut in Fairyhouse. She pressed the winner to the line there, but gave best by half a length. Granted normal improvement, she should be very hard to beat. The one caveat is that her sire is Equiano and his progeny prefer better ground. The going at the time of writing of yielding, yielding to soft in places ought to be okay but if it deteriorated, particularly to heavy, that would be a concern. Clear Quartz was supported at fancy prices when fifth in Tipperary. He has a lovely draw in stall one and Dylan Browne McMonagle is value for his 7lb claim. The pair could go well for a long way. John Oxx's I Know I Can put in some useful late work to finish eighth on debut in a big field at Navan and can build upon that.
