FormscanBy Alan Magee - SCOTT KEY relished cut in the ground when scoring impressively over this trip at Gowran last Wednesday and may prove difficult to beat under a 7lb penalty. The Andy Slattery-trained gelding easily drew clear in the final furlong and may now have most to fear from Wizard Of Odds. The son of Arizona had Sir Jeremy over seven lengths behind in third, with another couple of these rivals further adrift, when runner-up to East Hampton in a valuable 7f handicap here last month. Galway maiden winner Tribal Nation switches to handicap company after finishing fifth to Henri Matisse in a Leopardstown Group 3 and may prove the pick of Joseph O’Brien’s four runners while Mississippi River, Bishopton and Mister Adam are others to consider.
