FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - James Nash admitted to have been disappointed with Forza Milan at this venue eighteen days back, when he finished a well-beaten last of the three behind Milan Native and Discorama. With that 138-rating Forza Milan is eye-catching here, along with Speak Easy. Speak Easy is assessed as a 142 performer after three outings over fences, and a Grade Two third placing. Gordon Elliott has a strong hand with three runners. Gigginstown House Stud owns his Keith Donoghue-ridden contender, Coko Beach, and the County Westmeath powerhouse also has DIOL KER in the mix. A point-to-point winner for Pat Doyle, this fellow has an awful going for him now for Noel Meade and Sean Flanagan. In short the Martaline gelding is a potential top-notcher in this sphere.
