FormscanBy Tom Weekes - NEXT IN LINE might win this competitive looking contest. She progressed very well in handicaps this summer and returned from 100 days break when second to an easy and well backed winner over course and distance last month. That run was her all-weather debut and running from the same rating today, should go well and is open to some more improvement. Crescent Lake did win over course and distance last month and is another 3yo who is open to some more progression. He won nicely on his latest start but has been raised 9lbs for the win and while ridden by a 7lbs claimer latest, is without a claim today, meaning he is effectively 16lbs higher. Swift Wing won a Claimer here recently and should be able to compete from his rating, reverting to handicaps for the first time in Ireland. Magi Gal won over course and distance in January and while she now competes from a career high mark having been raised 6lbs for her latest win last month, can still get involved with her rider again able to utilise her useful 7lbs claim.
