FormscanBy Donal Murphy - This looks a bit stronger than the first divide. Successful at Wexford last month, Kellie's Dream is a leading contender. However, she was since a bit disappointing at Downpatrick and needs to brush up on her jumping. Appian Way is without a win in 28 starts but went down by just a length-and-a-half when second at Listowel last week and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. For a selection, EARLY ARRIVAL gets the nod. Second here in March, he again filled the runner-up spot over fences on his latest start at Wexford. Still in with every chance on the approach to the last at Bettyville, a peck on landing virtually ended his challenge. Light Parade was a solid forth at Downpatrick recently and has definite claims, while others to keep on side are top weight Dr Val, Tramore third Hard Target and the Denise O'Shea trained Let Her Flow.
