FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ARTICULUM won in the style of a potentially very smart horse at Cork in November and might prove best in a hot contest today. A dual bumper winner, he was having his first run back at Cork following suspensory ligament problems and simply bolted in against useful rivals (the fourth placed horse won at Leopardstown over Christmas). His lack of a recent run is a minor concern but stepping up to this trip (for the first time since his point to point win) could bring about the best in him. Burrows Saint also steps up in trip following his good maiden hurdle win at Punchestown in November. He has also been absent since then but that form has worked out very well and he is open to plenty improvement. Stablemate Sympa Des Flos found his true calling when stepping up to a staying trip at Limerick over Christmas and while he was impressive then, has more on his plate today. Beyond The Law has done nothing wrong on his last two starts and has sound claims but isn't helped by giving away weight. Dom Dolo also carries a dual-winners penalty and has his chance is maintaining his progression while Dortmund Park faces a much tougher task than when winning his maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse recently. Discorama is another useful sort but may find a few too strong today.
