FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - ANOTHER PRETENDER (7) is an interesting candidate in this trappy affair. Oliver McKiernan's gelding appeared to need his seasonal return, but his penultimate run at Down Royal stands out as he stayed on well from a less-than-ideal position. With that latest run under his belt, the son of Order Of St George could shed his maiden tag at the tenth attempt. Ladies Well was an easy winner at huge odds on her last start, and although she should cope with an 8lb rise, her consistency is questionable. Tantrum Boy makes his chase debut here after an improved performance on his latest start. Philip Byrnes takes over the reins today, and any market support would prove significant. Both Run For The Border and Not So Serious would have their say in this race if either manages to get in.
