FormscanBy Michael Graham - KANOG BAY appeals as a horse that is going to improve with racing. He made the breakthrough over 2m4f at Fairyhouse last month and this extra distance isn't expected to inconvenience him. Empire Walk was gambled on in Naas and made up a lot of ground on the run-in to finish second without laying a glove on the winner. Based on that effort, he ought to appreciate this longer trip. Snow Punt reverts to hurdles after a decent runner-up berth in a beginners' chase at Cork while Roc My Haarth's form has been a bit in and out, but he is capable of banking a cheque. The Little Yank and Aine's Lad shouldn't be ruled out.
