FormscanBy Donal Murphy - With his rider claiming a valuable 10lb, PARADISE PERFECT might be able to make the breakthrough. He came home strongly over six furlongs here last Thursday and the step-up in trip to seven should prove ideal for the American bred colt. Rated just 1lb below the selection, The Franchise is given second preference. The Joseph O'Brien-trained bay was a solid fourth on his return to action at the Curragh last month and should go even closer now, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Ger Lyons saddles two of the 15 declared, with Colin Keane opting to partner Banana Three. Third on debut at Dundalk in April, he was disappointing when eleventh of 20 on his second start at Leopardstown. Hero Blues is the other Lyons contender, with Gary Carroll aboard this Saxon Warrior gelding. Fourth in a stronger contest at Leopardstown on his most recent start, he should be able to make an impact here. A brother to dual-winner Aristovic, newcomer Capernoity warrants respect, while Lope De Rueda is another for the shortlist.
