FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Co-owned by the son of billionaire businessman Denis O'Brien, EASTMORE is of interest on his return from a break. Well-backed when beaten a neck into second at Down Royal in August, he failed to make an impact in subsequent starts at Killarney and Dundalk respectively. Trained by Charles Byrnes and set to be partnered by his son Philip, the pair are of course under IHRB investigation after a well-publicised incident at this venue in May. While he flopped when turned out again quickly after winning over the course and distance on his penultimate start, Splendid Choice is given the chance to redeem himself, while others of interest in this weak affair are Highland Earl, Phoenix Cowboy and four-time winner Prince Of Air.
