FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The Folkes Tiara sets the standard on a mark of 111 but he has been disappointing of late and is difficult to fancy with any great confidence. A beaten favourite on his last two starts, he has been given a break since his most recent effort in early July. The Gordon Elliott-trained THE MOON SEA'S ME makes greater appeal. She won a point-to-point on debut for Aidan Fitzgerald at Monksgrange in March and won't have to be anything out of the ordinary to take this moderate contest. Malinas Glory disappointed on his handicap debut at Galway but has some solid form to his name. A close fourth on his most recent visit to Powerstown Park, the Eoghan O'Grady-trained five-year-old should give a good account of himself. Nusra has each-way claims after finishing fifth at Listowel last week, while Barrys Rock is another that warrants respect.
