FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Despite suffering an odd-on reversal at Limerick last time, SOUL OF SPAIN is worth another chance on better ground. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt had looked promising as a juvenile but does have some questions to answer now after two short priced defeats in his early three-year-old career. A first-time tongue tie and blinkers may aid his case in this winnable maiden. Bumper winner Ossie's Lodge has been hindered by poor jumping since going hurdling but has to hold fair claims back on the level here. He looks one of the more likely types. The once-raced Dark Oak needs to step up on her racecourse debut effort but could be capable of better on this occasion.
