Formscan By Stuart Howden - JAMES J BRADDOCK displayed plenty of promise when a close second on his debut at Navan last month and the son of Zarak could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Il Corsaro also caught the eye when fifth on his racecourse bow at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago and Aidan O'Brien's colt should not be discounted. Ryefield Dasher is noted, while Cannes and Atomic City are newcomers to consider.
