FormscanBy John O'Riordan - It is surely significant that apprentice title contender James Ryan has stayed loyal to AREANA. Third on her recent stable debut for Conor Maxwell, the five-year-old travelled into the race easily before her effort levelled out inside the final furlong. While she may well have just needed that run on her first start since February, dropping back in trip looks a wise move. Ryan will most likely ride a waiting race before delivering the mare from off the pace late on. Church Mountain had rather lost his way over the last year or so but shaped much better of late. Runner-up at Punchestown last month, he confirmed that promise when fourth here on his latest outing. Topweight Lohengrin also enters calculations under Sam Coen.
