Formscan By John O'Riordan - The Natalia Lupini-trained ALMA LIBRE should prove difficult to beat under Wesley Joyce. A prominent racer who has been drawn low, the six-year-old is likely to make a bold bid under a young apprentice who excels from the front. As she tends to take a couple of runs to reach her peak, the daughter of Kodiac should be spot on for this assignment having shaped with promise last time. Masoun has to be of interest as he takes on his elders for the first time. Johnny Murtagh's gelding has run consistently well against his own age group in recent weeks, although he may not come into his own until stepping up to a-mile-and-a-half. Course and distance winner God Knows is entitled to be thereabouts with Jamie Powell back in the saddle.
