FormscanBy John O'Riordan - First-time cheekpieces and a slight drop in trip could see DABOYA make a winning start in handicaps. Having shaped with promise when fifth on her racecourse debut at Gowran Park in April, the Dermot Weld-trained filly backed that up when runner-up at that same venue next time. A beaten favourite when stepped up in trip at Limerick on her third outing, the daughter of Gleneagles will be more at home back at this intermediate distance. Hasten Slowly, a winner over hurdles at Tramore earlier this month has to be of interest reverting to the Flat. John McConnell's four-year-old arrives here in the form of her life. Vivacious Lady, who shaped with definite promise on her handicap debut at Leopardstown, is another that holds leading claims for her in-form team.
