FormscanBy Gary Carson - RAFFLES DOLCE VITA could be hard to peg back here if getting away in front. The Kapgarde gelding really blossomed under front-running tactics at Leopardstown early last month when a cosy winner. He beat one of today’s rivals then, Come Walk With Me, who went on to score at Fairyhouse earlier this month. The selection is actually a few pounds better off now. English raider Escapeandevade has to be respected. Harry Derham’s charge has been progressive and ran well to chase home Palacio at Newbury last time.
