FormscanBy Alan Magee - OUT ON FRIDAY gained both previous wins over an extended mile at Galway in 2020 which put him on a career high mark of 75 at the start of last season. The selection, who likes to be up with the pace, steadily dropped down the ratings before running a cracker under a very aggressive ride at Leopardstown last week. He was still well clear a furlong out before pegged back close home by Focus Required and is officially 3lb well-in compared with future handicaps. Draco Pulchrac is not the most consistent of performers but has shown definite promise on varying ground conditions including when runner-up to Darkened over this trip at Tipperary. The Lee Smyth-trained pair Spirituoso and Lily Of The Glen both ran well over course and distance last time, although the latter now races off a 7lb higher mark. Barretstown and Complete Fiction are others for the shortlist.
