Formscan By Michael Graham - There should be a Flat maiden in DADDY LONG LEGS who was last seen winning comfortably over flights at Ballinrobe in May. His third place in a Ballinrobe maiden last year behind a subsequent Group 2 winner is a notable piece of form in the context of this race. Joe Cool was another horse successful over hurdles on his latest start at Ballinrobe and, prior to that, he posted three placed efforts on the Flat, so has to be respected. Murat has two bumpers and a maiden hurdle in his locker and isn't one to underestimate on his Flat debut. Steel Cut came home well for second over an extended 10f at Dundalk, while Roscommon runner-up Duvessa is another to consider.
