FormscanBy Michael Graham - The form of RIAAN's fourth place on debut at Galway has been very well franked. Gordon Elliott's charge stayed on without threatening over an extended 2m, however, closer scrutiny of the race is very revealing. The horses around him in second, third and fifth all landed maiden hurdles on their next outings. Gold Cup Bailly is back in action after being off since December. His runner-up spot behind Ahoy Senor in a maiden hurdle over a similar trip at Ayr in March last year is very notable form. This would be the quickest ground he has raced on, though. Royal Romeo is up in trip after a couple of second places over an extended 2m at Cork and Galway. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Rodney Bay and Carrig Rock are others with a shot at prize money.
