FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A weak affair with COSMOS D'AINAY the pick. An easy winner of a bumper at Sligo in May, he since failed to fire on his first start over flights. Easy to back on that occasion, Jack Kennedy later reported that his mount 'weakened turning in'. Back in trip now and with that initial hurdling experience under his belt, he looks the one to beat. The Man's Room is also dropping in trip after disappointing at Wexford. Second on his penultimate start at Limerick, a reproduction of that performance would see him go close. Gordon Elliott trains the selection and is also represented by newcomer The Grey Poet. A half-brother to Grade 2 winner Mister Blue Sky, he won't have to be anything out of the ordinary to take this on debut. Eco Pete, Tippawan Haa and William Tell are others capable of making an impact.
