FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Several of these ran in the big 2m amateur handicap won by Princess Zoe at Galway and DE NAME ESCAPES ME gets the vote to fare best of that group and land this valuable prize. Noel Meade’s useful jumper was sixth at Ballybrit and, still open to a bit more improvement on the Flat, can reverse form with Golden Spear (third) and Zenon (fourth) with leading claimer Gavin Ryan taking off a useful 3lbs. Irish Derby also-ran Chiricahua won his maiden in good style at Down Royal and is a classy 3-year-old running in his first handicap, but Dalton Highway was rated only 80 when runner-up in last year’s renewal and has a stiff task here off his current rating. Great Bear had some good hurdles form in the spring and may come on a good bit for his recent comeback run at Galway
