FormscanBy Shane Redmond - OCASTLE DES MOTTES (3) looks the part. He backed up an improved effort when runner-up to clear favourite Vicar Street at the Galway Festival when a cosy winner over a trip closer to today's at Galway earlier this month. That form looks to give him the beating of Sky Lord who ran his best races earlier in the year and returned to winning ways at Wexford in July where he had the race in safe keeping when left clear at the final fence. Apple's Of Bresil hasn't run since winning at Kilbeggan at the end of May and looks up against it now.
