FormscanBy Gary Carson - The in-form Johnny Murtagh team have a big chance with POWERACCLAIM (3). He had a promising run at Navan at the start of the season when rearing in the stalls and finishing well to be fourth. His next start at Naas was disappointing, but he showed positive signs at the Curragh on his latest outing when finishing fourth, and he looks set to go well for an in-form stable. The Gerard O'Leary-trained Thurso was fourth on his debut for his new trainer after joining from the Richard Hughes stable and will look to build on that run. Other dangers include the Jennifer Lynch-trained Irish Rumour and Verified.
