Formscan By Alan Magee - EIGHTEENTH SMILES (1) has progressed with racing and after a couple of placed efforts opened his account at the seventh attempt in a Cork maiden last month. The Joseph O’Brien-trained colt finished well to land that mile event and any further rain wouldn’t harm his prospects. Cudawudashuda showed improved form when staying on well behind the odds-on Santerno at Naas recently and may prove the main threat, while Cloughleagh Bridge is another to consider. Shesthedevil had the selection well behind when successful in a sprint maiden at Navan back in July but has been a shade disappointing since.
