FormscanBy Alan Magee - GENDARME won twice over two miles on a sound surface back in 2021 but has been lightly raced and generally disappointing since on soft ground until making eye-catching late headway when unfancied at Limerick last month. It will be fascinating to see how strong he is in the market here. The Grey Monty was second over course and distance 12 months ago and was again prominent throughout after a lengthy lay-off when only headed in the closing stages by Fruit Blossom (won again since) at Downpatrick. Dragon’s Pass has gained both previous wins at around this trip and has kept her form well since scoring at Fairyhouse in January.
