FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CARTHUSIAN ran well on his debut last month, when he shaped like a real staying type. Out of a Listed winner and a E340,000 yearling, he was outpaced early in the home straight at Navan but finished his race well. He holds Happy Pharoah on that form and should be much better for that experience and over today’s longer distance. Paul Henry made the running on his Gowran debut in April but faded tamely in the closing stages. He too steps up in distance but needs to show more. Keyboard and Driver’s Seat haven’t raced since April while Red King tries first-time blinkers.
