Formscan - Sean Mc hasn't quite been able to match the form of April's C%26D win in two starts since, but Paul Nolan's gelding has less to prove than most and could find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces. Even so, preference is for EMPIRE WALK (8). A beaten favourite at over 2m6f at Ballinrobe last month, he still showed up well for a long way and might do better now dropped in trip, especially because the booking of Jody Townend looks notable. Coolboy Christy is another to consider.
