FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up over course and distance last time, MISS PALOMA can go one better. The Henry De Bromhead-trained mare, who has won twice at this track, ran a solid race when just finding one too good on her most recent visit. A strong traveller, the six-year-old should get a nice tow into this race. Lightly raced on the Flat, Eastmore has to be of interest on his first start on the Polytrack surface. Having shown little on his first few runs over hurdles for Charles Byrnes, the gelding hinted at a revival when second at Down Royal recently. Natural Ruler, who finished third in a slightly higher grade here last time, should appreciate stepping back up to this trip. Colin Keane is a significant booking on the Johnny Murtagh runner.
