FormscanBy John O'Riordan - This looks a good opportunity for A PIECE OF HEAVEN to gain a first win since joining Joseph O'Brien. Successful on three occasions for previous connections, the gelding was subsequently sold to race at Royal Ascot last year. Having finished mid-division as favourite in the Copper Horse Handicap, he later proved somewhat disappointing in a Curragh Group 3 before returning to that venue to finish runner-up in the Irish Cesarewitch on his final start. With a rating of 106, he sets a clear standard in this company. Listowel winner Gentleman Joe rates the main danger if able to reproduce that run. The veteran Shanroe isn't one to totally discount, despite his modest recent form.
