Formscan By John O'Riordan - Just denied in a Group 2 at Longchamp when last seen, EMIT has the potential to develop into a leading stayer this term. With an official rating of 111, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding has something in hand of these rivals and, looks the one to beat provided that he is fit and ready for his first start since October. A progressive type last season, Happy Pharoah may have been over the top when disappointing in the Irish Cesarewitch on his final appearance. Although his best form has come on a sounder surface, the four-year-old has to be respected. A Piece Of Heaven has a bit to prove at this stage but is more than capable on his best form.
