FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent Curragh runner-up GOLDMOYNE can go one place better. Making most of the running on that occasion, the Tim Doyle-trained gelding quickened from the front over a furlong out and, looked all over a winner only to be caught close home. A five-year-old son of Galileo Gold, he is well drawn here to again make a bold bid from the front. Despite a slight concern that his best form has come at the Curragh, he still rates the most likely winner. Reponse Finale, who shaped with definite promise when fourth at Tipperary last month, is gradually coming back into some sort of form. Famous Enough, a gelding who always runs well at this track, is another with every chance.
