FormscanBy Michael Graham - A cracking race. CYCLADIC had her confidence boosted when running away from her rivals in a fillies' maiden at this track last month. She gets all the allowances and Scott McCullagh claims 5lb off her back so the 87-rated filly is weighted to do damage. Phoenix Cowboy has plenty of decent form in the book including when taking the McEnery Cup Handicap in Gowran Park by four lengths. He suffered a nightmare passage in the valuable Petingo Handicap in Leopardstown over Irish Champions Weekend, so it is best to put a line through that run. Castletownbere won by the narrowest margin at Cork in May. He hasn't been out since but represents shrewd connections. Coltor, who won the Qualified Riders' handicap at the Galway Festival, has an abundance of stamina for the Flat and knows where the winning post is.
