Formscan By Michael Graham - CURRAWOOD was noted staying on in third over CD on debut last month which makes him a big player. The horses in fifth and sixth have since shed their maiden tags to give a solid look to the form. He holds an entry in the Group 1 National Stakes. Aidan O'Brien's Ides Of March has big-race entries and is one that can improve from an opening fourth over a furlong shorter at this track. Dakota Blue ran well in second at Tipperary without landing a blow on the winner, while O'Brien's The Lion In Winter was an expensive acquisition and certainly merits a market check ahead of his racecourse bow.
