Formscan By Gary Carson - KSAR FATAL is still in the ‘could be anything’ category. The Buck’s Boum gelding was well touted before this racecourse bow at Gowran Park in March and left a big impression with an easy nine-length success. He obviously faces a stiffer test now but is fancied to prove up to the task. English raider El Cairos commands respect after a fine run to finish fifth behind Bambino Fever in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. He may be able to confirm form with He Can’t Dance, who was eighth then. The latter’s trainer Gordon Elliott also saddles Koktail Brut for owners Gigginstown and he is another that has to come into calculations.
