Formscan By John O'Riordan - Only just touched off in a stronger contest at Navan earlier this month, the Aidan O'Brien-trained CACTUS can open her account. Making much of the running on that occasion, the daughter of Wootton Bassett was only caught close home. Well drawn on this less testing track, it would be no surprise to see her lead pillar to post under her young apprentice. Having shaped with promise on his third start recently, handicap debutant Zarvali has to be of interest. With trainer Johnny Murtagh electing to apply first-time blinkers, the Dandy Man colt could have more to offer. Tahcawin is another that might be capable of improvement now that she races over a sprint trip for the first time.
An extended handicap for two years old only (80 = 9st 12lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
