FormscanBy Michael Graham - The weaker of the two divisions. The well-drawn ROBERT GUISCARD is interesting back at a mile. He kept on without threatening for second in a claimer over an extended five furlongs at Sligo on his last start. That was a significant drop in trip but it confirmed his well-being. He has winning form in Britain over this trip and has placed form on deep ground. Drombeg Duke hasn't troubled the judge this year, however, he won on his last visit here in October and has a hood for the first time so he is a threat. The consistent Gregory's Gift can put in a good shift under Willie Byrne. Scream performed a bit better in a first-time hood when sixth in Killarney and the hood has been retained. Chimeric's best performance to date came when he was fifth on heavy ground at the Curragh in November.
