FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - MR JOSIEY WALES seems to have the ability to go well fresh, and he gets the nod despite the fact that we haven't seen him since April. That spring-time outing also came at this venue, and the Milan gelding was certainly impressive, also at this trip, when beating Imperial Tune by twelve lengths. Form-wise that mightn't amount to a whole lot, but Mr Josiey Wales ran well before that at Navan in March, when runner-up to a good horse in Noble Yeats. Like Mr Josiey Wales, Sweet Street is another course and distance winner. Her 113-rating indicates that this will be a tough assignment for her though. Chicago Time (118), Craic Eile (115) and Brooks Falls (109) come under that banner too. Everything else needs considering.
