FormscanBy Tom Weekes - All of ANGEL ON FIRE's best form is on heavy ground, is race-fit and ran well recently. He has won just once from 16 runs and finished just a short-head ahead of maiden Atbay at Naas but the selection is slightly better over this distance. Pascalia won on the all-weather in February and while race-fit and capable of a little more improvement being a four-year-old, wears a first-time tongue-tie running on heavy ground for the first time. Three-time winner St Cianans Fire is in-form but has yet to run on ground this testing. So Messi was beaten long distances over hurdles recently but is at least race-fit and had form at this level last year, albeit on better ground. Sapristi debuts for new connections with heavy ground being concerning while ground might also inconvenience Velvet And Vine, which drops in distance.
