Formscan By John O'Riordan - Denied by the narrowest of margins at Down Royal last time, BAMAKO can gain some measure of compensation. The Andrew Oliver-trained gelding had shown ability on a couple of occasions as a juvenile but lost form towards the end of last season. However, with the aid of a first-time visor, the son of Sands Of Mali stepped up considerably on anything he had done previously when just touched off recently. Provided that the headgear does the trick for a second time, he should go close. Fairyhouse winner Lovely has to enter calculations off just 5lb higher, while handicap debutant Washington Street has to be respected given his connections.
