FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The James Barcoe-trained RAIN can register a first Irish success under the in-form Nathan Crosse. A winner in France earlier in her career, the daughter of Sea The Moon has run well in higher grades than this throughout the summer months. Although somewhat disappointing at Clonmel last time, she is given the benefit of the doubt as she was forced to make the running in a small field. Redwood Queen, a six-time winner over hurdles including at this track, rates a live threat. Charles Byrnes saddled the runner-up in this race last year and in the shape of the seven-year-old, he looks to have a well handicapped mare. The Truant has been done no favours from a wide draw but is entitled to be competitive on his most recent form.
