Formscan By Donal Murphy - Declan Queally saddles two here and has opted to partner KASHCHEI over point-to-point winner St Lawrence's Well. The subject of good market support when sixth in what was probably a stronger contest at Galway on Thursday, the Telescope bay has race fitness and experience on his side. Beaten by just half-a-length at Downpatrick on her latest start, Walks The Talk is the second choice. Getting a mares allowance and with Finn Buckley claiming 7lb, it'll be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end. With two good efforts to his name, Passenger is of definite interest. The well-bred six-year-old was a never nearer third when last seen at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. Gavin Cromwell's Court Canyon and Pat Foley's Silly Mongoose are others for the shortlist.
