FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Noel Meade-trained JESSE EVANS should prove difficult to beat if ready on his first start since last November. On that occasion, the So You Think gelding ran a big race when third in a Group 3 at the Curragh. Having twice finished runner-up on his seasonal reappearance, the eight-year-old can go one better. Sixandahalf looked smart when easily winning her maiden at Cork in May, before finishing runner-up to a decent type at Listowel subsequently. Although she will need to improve if she is to beat the Meade gelding here, Gavin Cromwell's mare looks the main threat. Recent Ballinrobe winner Royal Eagle faces an altogether different task now but is a fit in-form mare so has to be considered.
