FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ALPHA MALE farms the Bishopscourt Cup and should benefit from a recent reappearance run. He won the 2018 renewal by 30 lengths, was second in 2019 and '21 (there was no festival in 2020) and showed enough over an inadequate trip on reappearance at Down Royal to suggest he retains ability, aged 11. Useful handicap chaser An Droichead Gorm brings precious recent form, having won a point-to-point last month. Ground-versatile but lightly raced, he should give the selection a race under his 7lb claimer. Imitation Game was second in a novice chase in February 2021 but has disappointed since while Boston Spray was useful four years ago.
