Formscan By Tom Weekes - TAI SING YEH was second over course and distance last month and competes from his same rating today. A four-time winner, he has yet to win at this venue but has winning all-weather form and comes here in fine form, from a mid-draw in 9. True Conviction, a 3yo, has progressed very well recently, being beaten a head here in August and while his recent good form is over a mile, today's rider claims a helpful 5lbs. Skontonovski made use of a falling rating to win twice in September and while now raised back to 64, should still prove competitive being a course winner. Caesar's Comet was third at Bellewstown latest and has claims while Pulsating, a nine-time winner and fourth at Bellewstown, would ideally prefer a mile. Shimla Rolann won a Gowran Claimer in September before subsequently finishing fifth here while Faraah disappointed at Cork and now runs in her first handicap on the all-weather. Colin Keane rides Tanseeq who hasn't won since April 2018 but has useful course form to his name.
