FormscanBy Gary Carson - BROOME looks the obvious one to beat here as he bids to take his unbeaten run this season to four. The son of Australia has looked like he might appreciate a bit further than this but is actually unbeaten at the trip. Arguably his best performance this season came first time up in testing conditions at Naas and the ground will help play to his stamina. Ballydoyle saddle three in this and it will be interesting to see how last year's Derby winner Serpentine fares on his return to action. He weakened in soft ground when last seen at Ascot in October so the ground is a concern. Melbourne Cup runner-up Tiger Moth completes the Aidan O'Brien-trained trio. Obviously he is another that will appreciate further and is probably best watched on his return. Search For A Song ran a solid race on her return when chasing home Emperor Of The Sun at Leopardstown and should improve from that. Again this is short of her best but she ran well in the race last year when third to Magical.
