FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Albeit disqualified for carrying an incorrect weight, it was still a good performance by FRENCH LIGHT when second in a Listed event at Punchestown and he gets the vote. The Muhtathir gelding stayed on well to chase home a talented sort in Thedevilscoachman and it was a big step forward from his previous runner-up effort at Clonmel. Goodbye Someday has a great chance according to handicap ratings but testing ground will not suit and Shadow Rider might be a bigger danger. He ran well for a long way in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown and takes a notable drop in trip. Alko Rouge made all to win his maiden at Navan and this scopey sort is open to more improvement.
