FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Conditions are unlikely to suit dual winner Lady O, with the Australia filly taken out of a Group 3 at the Curragh last month due to quick ground. Off the same mark of 87, MEDICI VENUS is the selection. Badly hampered when still in with every chance on her penultimate start at Naas, she went down narrowly when last seen at Galway. Clearly progressive, it'll be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Drivers Seat has two solid efforts to his name and looks a winner in waiting. Third at Leopardstown on his latest start, he was a place ahead of subsequent impressive Galway victor Trinity College. O'Brien also saddles The Marty Party who has plenty to find on ratings, while Shiota and the Adrian McGuinness pair of Sir Jeremy and No Return (first time hood) complete the line-up.
