FormscanBy Michael Graham - BEAR CREEK was a comfortable winner over 1m5f in Down Royal and ran creditably in third when upped in class at Galway behind a couple of horses rated 82 and 87, so should be a major contender for honours here. Ehteyat is on a competitive mark and his fifth place in another handicap in Galway can be marked up as he suffered a less than clear route. Beautiful Chaos was a neck in front of him in fourth and she should also be in the hunt for prize money. Ger O'Leary landed this race last year and his Makaiah is more than able to get into contention.
