FormscanBy Alan Magee - LORD ERSKINE holds good each-way claims. The Harry Rogers-trained gelding progressed well back in 2017 completing a hat-trick when landing the Cesarewitch at Navan. He won twice over hurdles the following year but was then sidelined for 19 months. The Fast Company gelding relishes soft ground and showed definite signs of a return to form when fitted with cheek-pieces over this trip at Galway last time staying on nicely behind Advanced Virgo. Champion apprentice Gavin Ryan again takes the mount. The Sam Ewing-ridden Advanced Virgo again merits respect, while Yafordadoe and Shamiyna are others for the shortlist along with the Tony Martin-trained pair Double Jemmy and Dundory (a winner at the Curragh on Friday).
