Formscan By Stuart Howden - It's hard to get away from DIEGO EL QUESO. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding had a few of these behind when just touched off over this trip at Gowran Park at the start of the month. He sets the standard with an official rating of 87 and may progress from that outing which came after a break of five months. Smiling has been tried over a variety of trips, and it will be interesting to see how strong she is in the market having been absent since a creditable fifth over a mile at Naas in May. Perfect Base is fitted with cheekpieces following her third at Roscommon, while Chester Nimitz has plenty of experience but has regressed this year.
