FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BRAZIL was a beaten favourite on debut at Navan last month but can benefit from the experience and win this. A brother to Irish Derby winner Capri, he seemed to lack a little pace on his debut run (on easy ground) but did stay on well in the closing stages and looks the have the size and scope to progress with racing. Skilled Warrior himself ran a very solid race on debut at Gowran last month. He failed to keep pace with the leaders late-on but his runner-up stablemate subsequently won a Galway maiden on his next start and Skilled Warrior is also now proven on testing ground. Forbes' sire Zoffany produces many soft ground winners and being out of a winning dam whose half-brother won the Racing Post Trophy, could get involved on debut. Eternal Flame is a brother to Winter and while very likely to have smart ability, is probably best watched on debut. Jack Duggan is by a first-season American sire and is out of a dam who is an unraced half-sister to Group 1 winner Saoirse Abu. Pageboy, by Kodiac, was a 25,000gns yearling purchase and is out of an unraced dam who is related to some black-type performers.
