FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Striking with Howya Luveen and Bythesametoken in recent weeks, Ross O'Sullivan and the Downtown Syndicate are on a roll. They again combine here with TALK IN THE PARK and this seven-year-old is of definite interest on his first try in handicap company. Beaten just three-quarters of a length into second in a good quality contest at Galway on his latest start, he had some useful performers in behind. Starting off for Eric McNamara, Weveallbeencaught and Supreme Gift are of definite interest and it'll come as no surprise if either manage to prevail. A runner-up on his last three starts, Antrim Coast certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn, while the likeable Mousey Brown and wide-margin Tramore winner El Champo are others for the shortlist.
