FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Narrowly denied over course and distance last time, MISSISSIPPI RIVER can get back on the winning trail. Having reached the frame on all three starts as a juvenile, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt was a staying-on third here on his reappearance in March. Getting off the mark in a maiden at Navan next time, he went very close on his handicap debut back at this venue subsequently. Despite being raised 5lb, the son of Lope De Vega looks progressive. Curragh maiden winner Beckman should appreciate this drop in class, on his first start in handicap company. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding has acquitted himself well in better grades. Va Va Vroom is another to consider on her seasonal reappearance.

An extended handicap for three years old only (100 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
