Formscan By Michael Graham - DICKOCHEA is taken to get his revenge on Viareggio. The latter beat him by a head over seven furlongs at Cork in a race where Dickochea travelled notably well. The extra furlong here may play to Dickochea's advantage now that he has shown improved form. Viareggio is trying a mile for the first time. Nectarine was half a length behind that pair in third, and also enters the reckoning in new cheek-pieces. This is also a new trip for her. Gabbys Girl has been runner-up twice over seven furlongs and has Colin Keane's assistance. Nectarine's stablemate, Approach To Life, isn't out of it on nursery debut with 7lb-claimer Willie Byrne on board.
