Formscan By John O'Riordan - Trainer Peter Fahey may be able to land this finale with newcomer VA LA VIE(8). An unraced daughter of Walk In The Park, the filly is out of a 131-rated hurdler. While she is bred to appreciate further in time, this stiff track should play to her strengths. Fahey is well able to ready one at the first time of asking and has trained some smart bumper mares over the years. In a race where recent form is scarce, his debutant gets the nod. Having finished third at this track last time, Mozart's Song sets the standard. Weakening late on on that occasion, the Eamon Courtney-trained filly should be sharper now. Moscovite is another newcomer that warrants close inspection.
An I.N.H. flat race for four years old fillies only that have not won a race under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing (excluding Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H.
