FormscanBy Donal Murphy - With very little form to go on, the market will be informative. Cappucino was a fine third on debut at Naas but that mightn’t have been a strong contest, with runner-up Ankud since disappointing at Gowran. A Godolphin cast off, SAMUI is likely to prove popular with punters. He was bought for 32,000 pounds at Tattersalls in October and is related to plenty of winners. Gordon Elliott trains the selection and he is also represented by Smokey Putnum who failed to make an impact on debut. A E17,000 purchase at Tattersalls in May, Topgun Simmy is given second preference. He is out of four-time winner Petuna, who herself is a half-sister to 2017 Grand Annual winner Rock The World. Gabriel Ranger is out of a dual victor in Nicaragua and will be ridden by John Gleeson, who is sure to be still on a high after his big win on A Dream To Share at the Dublin Racing Festival last weekend. The Noel Meade-trained Ganderstown is another for the shortlist. He is out of a half-sister to Bear Story, a Group 3 winner on the level.
