FormscanBy Michael Graham - ARCLAND has run solidly in third and fourth in his last two outings at this track, and being patiently ridden could serve him well in this field. Several of these like to race prominently and those tactics worked for Leading Lion in Bellewstown last week. He was a shade keen there, but was well on top at the business end and has to be respected. Churchwarden was just pipped by a short head over a similar trip at this track on his penultimate outing, so is another contender. Desert Cave won comprehensively in a lesser grade over a staying trip here in June. He received a major hike in the weights and was pulled up when last seen in Galway, though, so there are questions to answer.
