FormscanBy Gary Carson - LOS BLANCOS sets a decent standard off his mark of 119 and this looks like a nice opportunity for him. The Masked Marvel gelding was beaten at a short enough price on his handicap debut at Gowran last time but it was still a decent effort to finish third and he should be up to landing a race of this standard. Champagne Jury wasn’t right when disappointing on his last appearance at Punchestown in April but is a major danger on previous form. All Night Revival has joined Philip Rothwell after a cracking run on his ‘track’ debut at Fairyhouse last month. He’s another leading contender.
