FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Emmet Mullins-trained RED CHARLIE is a somewhat speculative suggestion on handicap debut. Having raced too free on his first couple of runs, the War Of Will gelding was held up in order to help him settle at the Curragh last time. With that objective achieved, he could be a different proposition back over 6f here. Curragh nursery winner King Thistle is 7lb higher now but travelled nicely throughout that latter race so might have a little more to offer even off this revised mark. South Shore Island, who was sent off favourite on his racecourse debut over course and distance back in June, could be capable of better in first-time cheekpieces. James Ryan takes a valuable 3lb off the Michael O'Callaghan-trained colt.
