Formscan By Gary Carson - A tricky looking contest and UNIQUE JOURNEY may be able to strike on his return. The Danny Murphy-trained gelding ran a big race in testing conditions when last seen at Galway in October, having been a touch unlucky on his previous outing at Navan. He had finished third to one of today's rivals, Gazelle D'or on his handicap debut and is weighted to turn the tables now. Island Girl had some nice maiden form last season and is one to note, for a yard that generally makes a good start to the season.
