FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Dropping back to what is arguably her best trip, ALMA LIBRE should take beating for the Natalia Lupini stable. Having reached the frame in her second and third starts in handicap company, the daughter of Kodiac was then runner-up in the Apprentice Derby over 1m4f. Clear over 1f out, she weakened close home and was eventually headed. Soft ground possibly contributed to a below par effort at Galway last time but now racing over 1m2f on decent ground, she should go close. S'all Good Man has a difficult draw to negotiate but has been hitting the crossbar of late. His Leopardstown second was given a real boost by the winner since. Coeur D'or ran a massive race on his return from a long absence when fourth at the Curragh in May but has failed to back that up in two subsequent starts. A first-time tongue tie could help bring about improvement.
