FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - THE NAMES JOCK might be able to defy top-weight to follow up on his win at Leopardstown just over a week back. The Famous Name gelding has a nine pound higher mark to deal with now, and Mikey Sheehy again takes the reins. John Kiely’s charge did it well on that occasion, by three parts of a length from the staying on Yafordadoe. He was building on an encouraging run at the Curragh before that where his young rider dropped the stick inside the final furlong. Kiely also has Blackpoint in the mix, and he can’t be completely discounted. Among the others that need to be kept in mind are In From The Cold, Thefaithfulindian and Newgirlintown.
