Formscan By Mark Nunan - A Curragh maiden winner on Guineas weekend, COUNT BEZUKHOV (1) was unable to justify favouritism when third on quick ground in a valuable 1m4f novice event at Doncaster in July, but he was conceding 6lb to the useful winner who took his chance in the St Leger at the same track. Connections expect the son of Wootton Bassett to stay well. There wasn’t much between Bay Of Stars, Huff’n’puff and Mergus Serrator in the Ulster Derby over 1m5f in June. Vantage Code hacked up over this trip at Galway, but the handicapper had his say as a consequence, while the form of Sunrush’s Navan win has worked out well but he’ll need to find more in this higher grade. %0A%0A%0A
