Formscan By Michael Graham - VALIANT FORCE is the class act in this handicap and Sam Coen has been booked to ease his burden by 7lb. This former Group 2 winner at Royal Ascot has shown a real aptitude for Dundalk in landing three of his five races here. He holds a mark of 109 and is well drawn in stall two. Daamberdiplomat has three course and distance victories to call upon, so it is not hard to see him in the mix. British-raider Never Just A Dream has been keeping good company on his travels and should be competitive off a mark of 92. Little Queenie won this race last year and is nicely weighted, while I Bid You Ajou and Collective Power could be lively.
