FormscanBy Michael Graham - VERY EXCELLENT can get his turn on the Flat. He is a former winner of a Bellewstown maiden hurdle who posted his best effort to date on the level when beaten by a neck over a similar trip in Galway. He goes to work from a good draw in stall one and gets first-time cheekpieces. There are a whole host of dangers including Church Mountain who was the horse that beat Very Excellent in Galway and has prospects off 6lb higher. Recent winners Ideal Pal and Khafaaq have to go on the shortlist while Pita Pinta could improve particularly if the rain arrives. Oneiroi and Lord Park will rightly have their supporters.
