FormscanBy Michael Graham - SNAPDRAGON has put together a sequence of three runner-up berths in a row and can grab his first victory. He likes to get on with things at the head of affairs and has been getting closer to the breakthrough as he was just pipped by a head on his latest start over a shorter trip at this track. Shimmy Jimmy receives 10lb from Snapdragon and that will aid his cause on the stiff finish. He won his maiden over CD in July. Grande Marques has shown ability in maidens and was far from outclassed in seventh in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas in August. A big run wouldn't be surprising.
