FormscanBy Alan Magee - This is a consolation event for those that didn’t get into the Cesarewitch last month. That race went to a progressive three-year-old in Waterville and Como Park fits a similar profile just getting in here on a mark of 90. He’s improved with each run winning a Leopardstown maiden and was fitted with blinkers when following up in a Down Royal handicap last month. However, slight preference is for dual-purpose gelding AUTUMN EVENING who has yet to score on the Flat but finished with good effect behind Flying Scotsman at Listowel last month. A three-time winner over hurdles, he remains on a competitive Flat mark. Others to consider in an open stamina test include Buckman Tavern, Lord Erskine and Rich Belief.
