FormscanBy Donal Murphy - FORCE NOIR should be able to put his experience to good use. Narrowly denied when sent off favourite for the opening race of the season at the Curragh, he had a subsequent winner behind. With five newcomers in the line-up, market trends should be watched closely. Joseph O'Brien has made a blistering start to the new campaign and his Mr Montauk is the second choice. A brother to five-time winner Sergeant Wilko, he won't have to be a star to take this on debut. One of three fillies set to take part, Jessica Harrington's Lady Patrona is of definite interest. Harrington won a Roscommon maiden with a half-brother in Loch Tay, and he has since won two more in Hong Kong for David Eustace.
