FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Although yet to get his head in front from 15 attempts, KLASSMAN came very close when narrowly denied at Limerick last time. Despite being raised 3lb for that effort, the Shane Nolan-trained seven-year-old appears to have every chance of finally gaining that breakthrough success. A stronger traveller, who stays further, the gelding should be suited to a track such as this where they tend to get racing early. Avandra, who showed promise when fifth in a stronger race last time, has to be of interest in first-time cheekpieces. Trainer Philip Rothwell continues to be amongst the winners. Cois Fharraige, who has only had two starts for Gavin Cromwell, remains open to improvement.
