FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A strong renewal of this Listed contest. SNAFFLES had no luck in running on debut at Leopardstown but made no mistake on his second start at Down Royal, coming home an impressive five length winner. "I know Joseph (O'Brien) has always thought the world of him. He's such a laid-back, relaxed horse and you don't know what is in the tank," Brendan Powell, assistant trainer, said in the aftermath of that Down Royal success. Ger Lyons is represented by Markaz Paname and Cornman. The former is given second preference with Colin Keane opting to partner this bay colt. Well-backed for his debut at Cork, he comfortably dismissed his eleven rivals and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up now. Absolute Ruler is another leading contender for Donnacha O'Brien. Out of Group 1 winner Together Forever, the son of War Front has a course win to his name and was a close-up third in the Group 2 KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes on his most recent outing. Leinster House, who dead-heated on debut at Naas, is likely to have plenty of supporters, while Dirtyoldtown, King X J and Corviglia are others that warrant respect.
