FormscanBy John O'Riordan - RAPPAREE CHAMP should be more streetwise here having caught the eye when finishing third at Sligo on his racecourse debut. On that occasion, the Churchill colt lost his position before staying on in eye catching fashion to reach the frame. With the benefit of that experience, it would be disappointing if he can't make his presence felt in this ordinary maiden. Golden Temple has an official rating of 78 after seven starts for trainer Noel Meade. First-time blinkers may help bring about some improvement but he is vulnerable to a more unexposed rival in this company. Ravshan, a half-brother to three winners, is a debutant who deserves close consideration on his first start for the Michael Halford and Tracey Collins yard.
