FormscanBy Donal Murphy - MOVIE KING looks the one to side with. In a first time visor, the five-year-old ran a cracker on his most recent start at Kilbeggan, staying on well but ultimately having to settle for second, going down by just half-a-length. The visor is left off now but the son of Animal Kingdom is stepped-up in trip to 2m 4f and this should play to his strengths. It's difficult to make a case for many of these. O Mio Babbino is one of interest though and she is given second preference. Out of three-time winner Baidin Fheilimi, who claimed this very race back in 2013, the Patrick Cronin trained six-year-old has two point-to-point wins to her name. She has yet to create a real impression on the track but could make her presence felt in a race of this quality. Western Doyen wasn't beaten far when sixth at Ballinrobe earlier this month and he has definite claims, while Let Her Flow, Roccorionach (first time tongue-strap) and Shannon Glory are others that warrant respect.
