Formscan - An interesting mares' maiden that sees the highly-regarded QUEENS MELODY make her hurdling debut. A comfortable Hereford bumper winner in March, she was then thrown in at the deep end in a Grade 3 at Punchestown when only 10th, but ought to find this company more to her liking. Seas The Day was second in both her bumpers and should be a different proposition now sent jumping, making her a serious danger to all, while Walkadina and Sunset Marquesa are others for the shortlist.
