FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A promising third on his recent Irish debut, BOWMAN can strike for the in-form Charles Byrnes stable. Rated much higher in the past, the nine-time winner gave the impression that he had more races in him when keeping on for minor honours at Leopardstown last month. Stepping back up to a mile looks very much in his favour and, it has to be significant that Seamie Heffernan retains the ride on the son of Lawman. Withoutfurtherado was disappointing at the Curragh last time but would hold every chance on his previous second placed finish at York. The Arthur Moore-trained gelding ran well at this track earlier in the season. Rockbury Lad will need luck in running but has his chance.
