FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up in a stronger contest here last time, LETIZA can gain some form of compensation. The Henry De Bromhead-trained filly lost her race in the stalls, losing many lengths at the start. Still having plenty to do early in the straight, she stayed on strongly in a manner that suggested she would appreciate stepping back up to this distance. Granted a better break, the four-year-old should prove hard to beat. Also taking minor honours in a better grade on his most recent run here, the Tony Martin-trained Pralognan has to hold strong claims. Although dropping down in trip, the topweight should have the pace to cope with the shorter distance. Wrecking Ball Paul is one that the others would do well not to allow an easy time of it on the front end.
