FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A chance is taken on MORPH SPEED in this wide-open contest. A five-time winner, he ran better than his finishing position would suggest on debut for Joseph O'Brien at Cork last month. Slow into stride and settled in rear at the Mallow venue, he made late progress on the outer to finish a never nearer seventh. Fitted with a hood for the first time now and upped in trip to a mile-and-six, he should give a good account of himself. O'Brien is also represented by Newfoundland, a brother to the brilliant dual Oaks winner Snowfall. Previously trained by Aidan O'Brien and successful on his fourth start at Navan last term, he disappointed on debut for his current handler at Tipperary last month. Dame Rapide won this race last year and warrants respect, returning to the level after a stint over flights. A four-time winner in France, Zanndabad is an interesting contender for Tony Martin, while others for the shortlist are The Very Man, Black Hawk Eagle and Bellewstown winner Star Kissed.
