Formscan By John O'Riordan - Johnny Murtagh holds strong claims with the once-raced Aga Khan-owned colt REYENZI. Runner-up on his racecourse debut at Naas in September, that form has been franked in the interim. The fourth placed horse has won his next two starts and is now rated 93. Given that Murtagh beat two of the leading contenders for this race in a similar contest over course and distance earlier this month, he should know what is required. Vorfreude, who finished second in that aforementioned race, should go close. Joseph Murphy's son of Bated Breath had shown promise on two starts as a juvenile last term. Nobler, a place behind the latter on his most recent outing, should also be very competitive.
