FormscanBy Tom Weekes - STARTING MONDAY might defy top weight and wi, despite some reservations around ground conditions. Thoroughly progressive, he would ideally prefer testing ground but some rain is forecast and he comes here proven over this trip and open to some more improvement following another good run at Naas last month. Similarly Thefaithfulindian needs an ease in the ground and also comes here in good form, although possibly no longer ahead of the handicapper. Fearless Girl is another whose best form is on soft but ran well on good at Leopardstown latest and has solid claims and being a 4yo, is open to some more progression. Dundory seems fairly ground-versatile and ran well at Gowran latest while 3yo Black Cat Bobby takes on older horses for the first time today and comes here in good form. Another 3y Vocito has been running well in similar races recently, is ground-versatile and consistent.
