FormscanBy Michael Graham - DERBY DE THAIX attempted to make all over an extended two miles one at this track last month, and could be worth a bet over this slightly shorter trip. He was collared on the run-in and dropped to fourth, but notably the runner-up has since gone in to strengthen the form. He is a long-standing maiden, but has form on decent ground. Yeat's Encore has put in two solid placed performances here and in Kilbeggan which has to bring her into contention, as very few of these are in good form. This is a lower grade than the one in which Acclamatio finished fourth in at Bellewstown in July. He ought to make his presence felt, and is a threat to all.
