FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CAFE CON LECHE might be able to get off the mark on his first all-weather start. He is an able hurdler (rated in the mid 120s) and while winless in 11 flat starts, has shown promise, caught the eye two starts ago before finishing an unlucky-in-running second at Naas last month. He has a preference for soft ground, which is a concern on his all-weather debut, but his rider claims a helpful 5lbs and is fit and well. Dances With Stars could prove best of this group, having shown ability on his debut at Limerick (the winner, second and fourth are useful) in June, but is absent since and returns with a tongue-tie. Well bred, he might ideally prefer a longer trip but represents a yard doing well. Eagle's Flight has shown useful ability in similar races and while he can be relied upon to run another solid race, might bump into one or two too strong. Zofar Zogood has similarly shown useful form but is also vulnerable to more useful types while Ballinlough Gale is also capable and today runs in a first-time tongue-tie. Scherbatsky has shown some form in handicaps but needs to improve.
For three years old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 3-y-o 9st 7lbs 4-y-o and up 9st 9lbs Fillies allowed 5lbs
