Going - Soft (Good to Soft in places). 

Formscan  - BALLYGEARY produced a much better effort when second in a stronger event at Musselburgh and the handicapper might have been kind to drop him 1lb. With this step up in trip a possible source of improvement, he looks the way to go. Crossing The Bar finished seven lengths clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at Fairyhouse and has to be taken seriously. Of the remainder, Piaff Bubbles makes the most appeal after his third at Ayr.
