FormscanBy John O'Riordan - This looks a nice opportunity for the Eddie and Patrick Harty-trained SIMURGH to register a first career win. A promising fourth on his introduction here last October, the gelding ran a big race on his reappearance when runner-up at Roscommon earlier this month. Almost certain to come on from that run, he can go place better now. Juniper Sling, who was third in that aforementioned Roscommon race, should again pose the greatest threat. A 78-rated filly, the Ger Lyons-trained daughter of Sea The Stars has plenty experience at this level. Indian River, who finished behind both Simurgh and Juniper Sling last time, is not one to dismiss despite that slightly below par run.
