FormscanBy John O'Riordan - PIRATE ISLAND has to prove his stamina over this distance but if doing so, the Philip Fenton-trained six-year-old holds strong claims. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding was placed in three maidens prior to gaining valuable handicap experience at Gowran Park last time. Now reverting back into maiden company, he should prove too good for these. Limerick runner-up Mickie Angel has at least proven his effectiveness over the trip, so that in itself should see Denis Hogan's gelding play a leading role. He does look vulnerable to an improver but there doesn't appear to be much strength in depth in this race. Arion Soldier steps up a mile here but would certainly enter calculations if he gets the distance. Twice hampered at Thurles earlier this month, the six-year-old stayed on in eye catching fashion to finish third.
