Formscan By Mark Nunan - DOWN TO BUSINESS has shown improvement in his last couple of starts and may get his head in front now. Andy Oliver's three-year-old ran well over this trip at the Curragh last month when third to an 88-rated filly and handled soft ground on that occasion. He may progress a little more in first-time headgear. Mocking was down the field in a sales race in France last time but has run well in a few handicaps, including on soft ground, and is the highest-rated in the field. Moon Reign ran a promising race at Galway but took a backward step at Listowel. He's bred to stay well and could fare better over this longer trip. %0A
