FormscanBy Alan Magee - COMMANCHE BRAVE won a Cork maiden last year and made a bright start this term when runner-up to subsequent French Guineas winner Henri Matisse in a Group 3 over course and distance. He was far from disgraced when fifth to Field Of Gold in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas and should appreciate this drop back to 7f. Mutasarref’s four course wins include this Group 3 last year and the seven-year-old is holding his form well as evidenced by two placed runs here this season. There is little to choose between Copacabana Sands and One Smack Mac on running at Naas last month, while Royal Zabeel and Cowardofthecounty are others to consider.
