FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Impressive winners at Tipperary and Gowran respectively, ONLY BY NIGHT and Nara look the ones to focus. The Gavin Cromwell-trained former easily accounted for an odds-on chance when successful at the Limerick Junction venue and back against her own sex now, she might be able to follow-up. Still only a four-year-old, Nara gets a weight allowance on account of her age. She trounced her rivals when last seen at Gowran and had the re-opposing Kilbarry Saint and Air Drop behind. A winner at the highest level over flights, Zenta looks the best of the rest. Disappointingly beaten into fourth on her debut over fences at Ballinrobe in May, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to bounce back. A Law Of Her Own has some solid form to her name and is another that warrants respect.
