FormscanBy Donal Murphy - RUN FORREST RUN is the suggestion in this wide-open affair. Successful on soft ground at the Curragh in May, he has performed with credit in four starts since. Not beaten far when seventh at Listowel last week, the Bobby's Kitten five-year-old will be ridden by Conor Stone-Walsh who claims a valuable 7lb. With Colin Keane booked to ride, Rose Of Malta is given second preference. Twice a runner-up, she was a solid fourth of 25 on her most recent start and a reproduction of that effort might be good enough to take this. Down to a career low mark of 48, it'll be interesting to see how six-time winner Stanhope fares, while fellow handicap veteran Teddy Boy is another that warrants respect. In truth, a case can be made for many others, with Improving (first time blinkers), Markievicz, Es Vedra and Eriskay a few more for the shortlist.
