FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CAPE COD was progressive last year and while unlikely to be a star, should prove competitive on handicap debut. By a top stallion, the selection was well held on his debut run but showed improvement last autumn, when running over longer distances. There is nothing outstanding about his overall form, although the fourth-placed horse from his Naas win last October scored recently. So Must I won a recent Dundalk rated race and is thus race-fit and while she remains a little unexposed, encounters easy ground for the first time. Marjorie Daw finished eye-catchingly behind today’s rival Cherry Hill Girl on debut and proved her liking for testing ground when scoring at Gowran in October.
