FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - It will hardly be any great surprise if SAMURAI CRACKER follows up on his Down Royal success from 27 days back. The Mr Dinos gelding is the only one to arrive here with a last time out win to their name, and that proven recent form could make the selection too tough an opponent for the likes of Somptueux. We haven’t seen Somptueux since October, and allied to that potential negative is the fact that he has to give Samurai Cracker plenty of weight, particularly when Richie Deegan’s claim is taken into account. Back from contesting some of the best handicaps in the calendar Speak Easy is now tried in a tongue -strap. It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on.
