FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A strong renewal of this Group 2 contest, with the first, second, fourth and sixth returning from twelve months ago. Gustavus Weston was the victor on that occasion but he isn't the most consistent and failed to make an impact on his return to action at Naas. Glen Shiel (fourth last year) and Brad The Brief make the journey across the Irish Sea and they renew rivalries after a recent Haydock clash. Brad The Brief was a decisive winner at the Merseyside venue but it'll come as little surprise if Group 1 winner Glen Shiel manages to reverse the form. For a selection, POWER UNDER ME gets the nod. Reported to have strengthened and matured over the winter, the Ger Lyons trained gelding beat a quality field on his return to action at Cork. He also won his previous start over the course and distance and bids for a hat-trick now. Dual Group 1 winner A Case Of You has brought connections all over the world. He won a massive prize in Meydan on his last start and is given second preference here. Make A Challenge (second last year) is a five-time winner at the Curragh and will appreciate the forecast rain, while Mooniesta, the sole filly in the line-up, is not to be underestimated.
