FormscanBy John O'Riordan - OUR SOLDIER has every chance of overturning course and distance form with Aspurofthemoment. When the pair met here in April, the latter came out on top to the tune of four-lengths. However, having only had to concede 1lb on that occasion, Aspurofthemoment now has to give Our Soldier 10lb. While there is again unlikely to be that much between these two in-form horses, the Edward O'Grady-trained six-year-old just gets the verdict. A winner over fences at Kilbeggan subsequently, Aspurofthemoment commands maximum respect in his bid for a four-timer. Boston Jury, who finished third on his most recent start at Ballinrobe in May, should be all the better for his first run in handicap company.
