FormscanBy Alan Magee - SHARP FOCUS beat Havana Breeze (now 10lb better off) over this course and distance last year and looks primed for a repeat after shaping well over an inadequate seven furlongs at Leopardstown on Saturday. The Rock Of Gibraltar gelding was noted staying on well in the closing stages and is now drawn on the rail in stall one. Havana Breeze merits respect on these terms and was far from disgraced in two outings last month. Clifftop didn’t enjoy the run of the race when keeping on into third behind the progressive Wilderness (completed a hat-trick at Leopardstown on Saturday) and has winning form over this trip at Bellewstown last year. Mk Drama and Scorpion Black are others to consider.
