FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Second in this contest 12-months ago, COILL NA SIONAINNE might be able to go a place better now. She has been hinting at a return to form of late and ran well to finish fourth at Fairyhouse last week, after being hampered in the early stages. Interestingly, Billy Lee is reunited with the daughter of So You Think for the first time since last July. Just half-a-length separated Sirjack Thomas and Coeur D'or at the Curragh on Guineas weekend, with the latter taken to reverse the form. The Dermot Weld-trained seven-year-old came from the clouds to finish a never nearer second and should appreciate this slightly longer trip. John McConnell is represented by interesting contenders in the shape of Higher Kingdom and Mulgrave. The latter has yet to win on turf but completed a quick hat-trick at Dundalk in February, finishing a close-up fifth in a valuable contest at Lingfield on Good Friday. Longbourn, Malabu Drive and Independent Expert are others for the shortlist.
