Formscan By John O'Riordan - A beaten favourite over course and distance last month, BUCANEER'S SPIRIT can resume winning ways. Having scored at Cork on his previous start, the Jack Davison-trained gelding didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when narrowly losing out at this venue in his follow up bid. Taking on his elders on that occasion, the son of Invincible Spirit should find life easier back amongst his own age group. Avatar Jet makes a quick reappearance after finishing fourth at Punchestown in mid week. Mark Fahey's charge should be much more suited to his stiffer test. Koniag, who went close at Cork last time, should again be involved. Although stepping up in grade, the Kodiac gelding looks capable of holding his own.
