FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent course and distance winner BRAINS can make it back-to-back victories. Prominent throughout, the Dick Donohoe-trained gelding led over a furlong from home before staying on in determined fashion to score by a head. That form was given a boost when the runner-up won on his next start. Only raised 4lb, Brains can effectively run off the same mark, with the excellent Nicola Burns using her valuable claim. Well drawn for one who likes to race up with the pace, the nine-year-old has plenty in his favour. James Henry, who caught the eye at the Curragh, can be forgiven a poor run on very testing ground at Limerick. Notforalongtime and Pandion Power are others to consider.
