FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ISLE OF SARK might win. A good Dundalk debut winner last November, his Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown run 12 days ago was encouraging and while he might lack high-class ability, is race-fit and has proven smart form. O'Reilly is also race-fit having won his Leopardstown maiden, also 12 days ago. An able type, there is no disgrace in being beaten 4L by Bolshoi Ballet (last October) although, on a strict form-view, ISLE OF SARK was beaten 3L by that same horse at Leopardstown. Blue For You was Dermot Weld's 24th win in Galway colts' maiden last July, beating high-class Wembley into second, and is a notable runner. Blue For You could be high-class and while his lack of a run since July is a small concern, was withdrawn from a Group 2 last September and is likely to be ready for his reappearance. Kyprios won a good Galway maiden on debut (the third won a Group 3 subsequently), when shaping like a stayer last September but disappointed in the Zetland subsequently. Colour Squadron is race-fit but the form of his course win took a knock as the runner-up was beaten on Tuesday. Toshizou won at Tipperary in September and while beaten in a Dundalk Listed race in October, might appreciate a return to turf.
