FormscanBy Gary Carson - COLIN’S FRIEND (4) ran well on his handicap debut when fourth at Galway last month and there looks to be more to come from the Poet’s Word gelding. He was sent off favourite then, on his first outing for Henry de Bromhead, and is still relatively unexposed. Granlahan has been knocking on the door. The four-year-old ran a big race at Listowel last time when collared late on by Glin Road Boy and despite a 4lb rise for that performance he looks capable of going close again. Kingdom Calling won on his penultimate outing at Tramore and ran a solid race to finish fifth off a pound higher mark at Listowel last time. He could also play a big part.
