FormscanBy Michael Graham - PURPLE LILY took the scalp of a 108-rated colt at Naas and looks ready for this step up in trip and class. Paddy Twomey raised the prospect of the Irish 1,000 Guineas after that Naas success and she holds a plethora of Group 1 entries at up to 1m4f. Aidan O'Brien's Everlasting is also well entered up and gets decent ground for the first time. She ought to come on from a fourth place in a Group 3 last month. Bellezza hasn't been seen since winning a maiden at Leopardstown last summer after which Ger Lyons spoke highly about her. The form of that race has worked out well and she is an intriguing runner here. O'Brien's Wingspan found plenty off the bridle to win her maiden over 1m at Leopardstown and should be suited by an extra couple of furlongs. Group 3 winner Caught U Looking is another to consider, while Ezeliya is well thought of and adds more spice to the mix.
