FormscanBy Tom Weekes - NOUVEL ESPOIR's form has been a little in-and-out this year but nonetheless has shown nice ability. Ideally suited by this distance, the form of his recent Curragh placing has worked out well as the runner-up scored subsequently and being just a four-year-old, might continue to progress in sprints. Reinforce dead-heated at Down Royal when completing a double in July and while his rating has climbed back up to 75, was rated 80 as a juvenile and is well suited by fast ground. Course-and-distance winner Realtin Fantasy was well held at Down Royal last month but had previously again run well on today's track in early July, and should compete. I'm Spartacus is declared to run on Wednesday.
