FormscanBy Donal Murphy - This looks to concern just three, with Firefox, Croke Park and GORGEOUS TOM the standout names. There was less than a length between them when they clashed in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse last December and while beaten by his aforementioned rivals on that occasion, the Henry de Bromhead-trained latter is taken to reverse the form. The choice of Jack Kennedy, Firefox is the second preference, with the conditions of the race favouring this Bective Stud-owned bay. While she has a lot to find on ratings, Speculatrix is likely to pick up the pieces should any of the main protagonists falter, with Rockstown Girl and Ivar The Boneless out of their depth.
