FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SPECULATEUR won an April point-to-point and ran well in a useful bumper in November. Ground-versatile, the selection is well-bred and having scored at Ballyknock, subsequently joined top connections and ran nicely at Punchestown. That form is working out well and he contests a winnable maiden. Lightly-raced seven-year-old Gorvitho disappointed on a reappearance run at Tipperary last July, when he was was reported to be blowing hard post-race. He is now tongue-tied and has something to prove. Stablemate King Of Aces showed promise in a Fairyhouse point-to-point in April while Whatsanotheryear turns another page although ran well in a course maiden in December 2024.
