FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The top-weight in a nursery is the approach I'll take here. While he failed to fire on debut, CURSORY EXAM put in a much improved performance on his second start, finishing fourth in the race won by Hudson River. He had subsequent winners Snowy Owl, Monaasib and Mac Swiney all behind him on that occasion, with Mac Swiney giving the form a significant boost by claiming the Group 2 Futurity Stakes on Saturday. A disappointing seventh on his next start at Galway, the selection is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end here. The Joseph O’Brien trained Omakase is given second preference with Mikey Sheehy taking a valuable seven pounds off. The daughter of Power has three solid efforts to her name and has the beating of both Shambara and Get Noticed. Abogados warrants respect with Colin Keane booked to ride, while Star Image is another that can't be ruled out.
