Formscan By Donal Murphy - Running his best race to date, EAST HAMPTON was beaten by just a neck in the Group 2 Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh last month. Now racing off a career high mark of 109, the Cracksman three-year-old is the one to beat. First and second in this Listed contest 12-months ago, Super Sox and Dance Night Andday are both sure to have plenty of supporters. Down the field on his return to action at Naas, the Paddy Twomey-trained former is likely to step forward from that effort. Successful on debut at the Curragh in May, Fingerpaint is an intriguing contender. In against more experienced, battle-hardened rivals, it looks a tough ask for this Dermot Weld-trained bay. First time cheekpieces could have the desired effect on Chantez, while the returning Rahmi is another that warrants respect.
For three years old and upwards that are EBF eligible
