FormscanBy Gary Carson - KELLS might be able to do the business here on his handicap debut. The Galileo colt should be better suited but this galloping track having been edged out in a Sligo maiden last time. He travelled well then but went down by half a length at the finish and dropping back slightly in trip might also help. The Mpex Kid was a touch unlucky at Galway last time, coming wide to challenge and getting knocked off his stride slightly inside the final furlong. The handicapper gave him 4lb for that runner-up effort but he still looks a big player here. Phoenix Open also ran well at Galway when third to Eastern Racer, at a big price, and is another that could make an impression.
