FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Although not the easiest to win with, REVERBERATION should definitely be involved in this competitive renewal. Third 12 months ago, the James Lambe-trained gelding has most likely had a repeat bid as a plan for some time. Aside from one slightly below par effort over an inadequate trip, his record at the Curragh stands up to the closest scrutiny. The booking of champion apprentice Dylan Browne McMonagle signals that connections clearly mean business. With the Johnny Levins yard firing on all cylinders at present, both Aristovic and Salt Whistle Bay deserve close consideration. The former has already won twice this season, while the latter was a winner at Limerick in June. Bayou Belle and Heer At Dawn are others with decent claims in a wide open contest.
