FormscanBy Mark Nunan - VAN GOGH just failed to catch Military Style in the Group 3 Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown and can reverse the form. The American Pharoah colt will have to show an ability to handle soft ground but he gets the vote in the hope that his class will enable him to overcome that potential drawback. There didn’t seem to be any excuses for Southern Cape and Mac Swiney when they were behind the selection at Leopardstown, although the former does at least have a maiden win on testing ground to his name. Cadillac was a wide-margin maiden winner on debut at Leopardstown and this will reveal whether he can be competitive in Group company while recent Killarney winner Snapraeterea will handle conditions but the question is whether he has the class for this grade.
