FormscanBy Donal Murphy - No less than five of these faced off in the Desmond Stakes over the course and distance early last month, with JOHAN making all to register a 10th career success. Ronan Whelan retains the ride on the Jack Channon-trained eight-year-old, who is notably proven on soft ground. The underfoot conditions are more of an unknown for fellow UK raider Skukuza. Two from two in Ireland and comfortably accounting for some of these rivals at the Curragh in June, he didn't get the run of the race when a never nearer third on his most recent start at York. Second in this race 12-months ago, Mutasarref always warrants the utmost respect at Leopardstown, while the five three-year-olds in the line-up are all of varying degrees of interest. Just half-a-length off the selection when last seen, Alakazi is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Donnacha O'Brien's Commanche Brave is another leading hope.
