FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up over course and distance last month, AURORA NOVA can go one better now. The Andrew McNamara-trained mare didn't get the clearest of passages on the inside rail on that occasion, so being drawn wider in stall 14 may actually work to her advantage here. Sligo claimer winner Eruption reverted to handicap company with a solid second at Navan recently. Matthew Smith has his dual purpose string in excellent form at the present time, so another big run would be no surprise. Layoftheland has a wide draw to overcome but has been running solidly in this grade of late. She has to hold every chance for rookie trainer Sean Davis.
