FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Hold-up performer ROYAL SCHOLAR had four of these rivals behind when an unlucky third to Tara Power over course and distance a fortnight ago. The Slade Power gelding had been successful on his previous start and, if he has a smoother passage this time, looks to have another race of this nature within his compass. Jake Coen was on board when Accessory scored over 7f here last month and teams up again with Pat Flynn’s progressive gelding who won over this trip at Cork in September. The 4-year-old has his chance again despite a 7lb hike. Wonder Spirit ran freely when third over 1m2f here last week and is worth a try back at a mile while Blankiedoodie capitalised on a good draw when gaining his first all-weather victory last time and has fared well on that front again.
