FormscanBy Mark Nunan - AVEC GRAND PLAISIR (4) was quietly fancied to improve on his maiden form when tackling his first handicap at Cork, and duly improved when third in a useful one-mile contest. The other horses in the frame have subsequently shown that form to be solid and the well-bred St Mark's Basilica gelding, a half-brother to four useful winners, can capitalise on this return to maiden company. This race is restricted to those rated 70 or less, and two on that perch, Tyraxes and Taj Crown, have obvious claims but are somewhat more exposed than the selection. Contrite's debut on the all-weather during the winter was promising and she now sports a first-time tongue-tie, having failed to handle testing ground on her reappearance. %0A%0A
