FormscanBy Michael Graham - THE TRUANT has to be of interest despite the drawback of being drawn in stall 19. He was a ready winner by three lengths over an extended 1m4f at Sligo, and the form got a tremendous boost when the runner-up came out and won decisively at Tramore on Saturday evening. The form of Kalmira's fourth place at Tipperary towards the end of June has been well endorsed. She won over this trip at Dundalk in January, and there should be more to come from her on turf. She gets first-time cheekpieces. Doctor Churchill won twice on all-weather tracks in Britain last year. He reverts back from hurdling where he was successful at Limerick, and was considered good enough to run in the Grade 3 Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival (unplaced). Course winner Final Endeavour is far from out of it. Isaiah is another for the shortlist.
