FormscanBy Donal Murphy - GORGEOUS TOM has some strong form to his name and looks the one to beat. An eye-catching fourth on his debut for current connections, he followed-up on that effort by chasing home subsequent Grade 1 winner Caldwell Potter on his most recent start at Navan. The Henry de Bromhead-trained bay pulled seven-lengths clear of the third at the Co Meath venue, with recent Limerick winner Cato's Revenge in behind. Second on debut in the Goffs Defender Bumper, Milo Lises unseated on his first try over flights when sent off favourite. Coming from the powerhouse yard of Willie Mullins, he is sure to go close. Hexham bumper winner Boldog starts off for Joseph O'Brien and has definite claims, while Cappuccino, who has been placed three times from four starts, is another for the shortlist.
