FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Yudish Geerdharry is a rider to follow over the coming months and he teams up here with SCIPIO'S DEFENSE. The young apprentice looked pretty polished in the saddle when partnering his first winner at Naas earlier this month and it's only a matter of time before he strikes again. A 55 rated three-year-old, the selection has been ultimately disappointing since finishing third at Gowran in July. She wasn't beaten far on her last start though and is still relatively unexposed. Ellabella is a more obvious contender and the four-time course winner is given second preference. She too will be partnered by a promising young pilot in the shape of Jack Kearney. The pair were successful over the course and distance earlier this month and it'll come as no surprise if they manage to follow-up now. Nyla Rua has plenty of ability and is capable of making her presence felt, while others for the shortlist in this competitive heat are Jaafel, Stardayz and Double Martini.
