FormscanBy Donal Murphy - One of three Gavin Cromwell-trained representatives in the line-up, BEGORRA MAN gets the nod. The choice of Keith Donoghue, his debut effort behind Kopek Des Bordes at Leopardstown in 2024 is a particularly eye-catching piece of form. Second of four on his return from a near year long absence at Punchestown last month, he can be expected to step forward from that effort. Gordon Elliott also saddles three, with Famous Figure appearing the pick of them. Successful in a bumper when in the care of Pat Fahey, he was second of 16 when last seen at Naas. Elliott's Newbrook Diamond (first time blinkers) also warrants the utmost respect, with Kilgame, Munsif and hurdling debutant Chopsticks other leading hopes.
