Formscan By Alan Magee - ROYALCORRESPONDENT is difficult for the handicapper to assess after just two runs and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market with the yard already among the winners this season. The son of Blue Point showed pace on both turf outings last year and has been gelded since. Velvet Skies beat The Bear Trap in a nursery at Down Royal last autumn and shaped well on his first start over this surface following a winter break, while Mary Shoelaces and Coulstar are closely matched on running over course and distance in February. The latter disappointed since and is now fitted with blinkers, while others to note include Miss Black Jack, Masonbrook Meadow and Branding.
