Formscan By John O'Riordan - Recent Curragh third TRADEWINDS can make the breakthrough here. Leading for much of that 6f contest last time, the Donnacha O'Brien-trained colt should be suited to dropping back to the minimum trip. Well drawn for one that likes to race up with the pace, this looks a nice opportunity for the son of Wootton Bassett to get his head in front. Bit Of A Buzz shaped well at Fairyhouse earlier this month, racing prominently until headed inside the final furlong, He, too, should appreciate 5f, although the Gavin Cromwell-trained colt could have done with a kinder draw. Quinn Blue is an interesting newcomer that has to be noted in the betting.
