FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - In a race that might not take a lot of winning, ROKANAKO (4) could make a successful debut. The Tirwanako gelding won a bumper at this venue, and the form of his last two starts reads quite well, especially when a close second to Galway Festival winner Teofil. He was outstayed that day, which would make stamina a slight concern stepping up in trip here, but he may just have too much class under Philip Enright. Splendid Fellow is a maiden after five starts under rules. Although he finished a close second to a Grade 2 winner, his rating may flatter him. The five-year-old is still a contender, though there are doubts about his resolution. The consistent It's All Clear can fill a place.
