FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The Ted Walsh and Davy Russell combination isn't long about catching the eye here with MYLES AHEAD. This Desert King gelding maybe hasn't gone on as might have been expected after his gambled-on victory at Clonmel on June 10th. However, he was still there with every chance when making a bad mistake at the last at Kilbeggan last time, and he's value for a lot better than his eighth place finish, beaten nearly nineteen lengths by Heist, would indicate. The likes of Drumhart, Coldstonesober and House Limit know how it's done around Downpatrick, and they are respected as much as any. Mitebeall Forluck, Tisamystery and Meldrum Lad have the form in the book to make their presence felt too. Paul Townend's presence on Meldrum Lad is obviously a help, and the son of Fruits Of Love went well in a first-time hood at Tramore last time. He can do well here in that retained headgear.
