FormscanBy Michael Graham - A very tricky race. Perhaps this will be the day that TEMPTATIONINMILAN gets off the mark. He has been well involved in his last four starts and was placed in three of them. Those races came over 2m, 2m4f and 3m and this trip might work the oracle. Furthermore, Philip Byrnes claims 7lb which puts him on an appealing mark. Yulong Voice drops back in trip after winning over 2m4f at Limerick, but looks dangerous off 5lb higher. Sargent Lightfoot won by a healthy three and a quarter lengths in Kilbeggan. If he is in the same humour, he can go well. Matthew Smith runs three and his Fulysse was a winner when last seen in a qualified riders' handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in November. It has clearly been hard to get her to the track, but she has ability. The Big Chap and Wild Caprice are others with chances. Toms Courage has been placed three times at this track, but his form is over shorter trips.
