FormscanBy Alan Magee - BLANKIEDOODIE won three times last year including at this venue and in general appears best on good ground. The gelded son of Halling has been in good form of late with three placed efforts over the past five weeks including when beaten just over a length behind Jungle Jungle also at Gowran. He beat all bar Overheer at Tipperary on Tuesday and the drop back to a mile should suit. The wide draw is the obvious negative. Macaban City gave encouragement when third to Ivy Avenue over course and distance last time, while Adapt To Dan is another in decent form. Capablanca only weakened inside the final furlong when reappearing after a ten-month absence at Limerick last week, and it will be interesting to see how he fares running back quickly over this shorter trip.
