FormscanBy Mark Nunan - COLIN’S FRIEND (7) has started favourite on his two starts since joining Henry de Bromhead and has run creditably on each occasion. He was just run out of things over slightly farther at Killarney last time and his 2lb rise was the same as that accorded to the runner-up who bolted up next time. The drying ground is likely to be similar and the Poet’s Word gelding can get off the mark. A course winner over a longer trip last December, Theanniversary Man hasn’t been far in recent starts and Daniel King, who has ridden him for both career victories, is back on board. Duce Bigalow takes a big drop in trip after a front-running second over 3m at Limerick. %0A
