FormscanBy Alan Magee - SEA DUCOR had some useful form last season beating Galopin Des Champs at Gowran Park and filling the runner-up spot behind Master McShee in a competitive handicap over this course and distance. Arthur Moore’s charge has obviously had some training issues since but hopefully he can build on a run here at Christmas and holds each-way claims. Cask Mate, runner-up to Ballyadam in the Grade 1 Royal Bond in 2020, is another lightly-raced sort of interest and had a stiff task when taking on Zanahiyr at Down Royal last time. Eskylane beat stablemate Magic Tricks in good style at Down Royal in October and is an exciting ride for his inexperienced 7lb claimer while Carrarea, third in a valuable handicap at Lingfield last month, and Gua Du Large are others for the shortlist.
