FormscanBy Michael Graham - CLOUNMACON doesn't hold any notable entries, but still went into plenty of notebooks after her debut run at the Curragh. She stayed on really well over this trip to get to within a nose of the winner. The horse that beat her is aiming for black-type now. Saxon Warrior colt Victoria Road sets the standard with a mark of 101. He has a couple of runner-up berths banked in addition to a decent fourth in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas. He steps back up to 7f over which he was beaten almost eight lengths on debut at Roscommon, but that may have been more to do with the testing ground. He has a host of big-race entries. Joseph O'Brien runs two and his Chiketto, who was third in a barrier trial, holds a Group 1 National Stakes entry so has to be respected on racecourse debut. Barrier-trial winner Remind was third in a warm race at Galway and is a threat. She has a Group 2 option.
