FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SOUL SEEKER showed enough on debut on heavy ground at Limerick to suggest he might prove good enough to win here despite dropping back a furlong in trip. Out of an Irish 1,000 Guineas runner-up, he himself has an Irish 2,000 Guineas entry himself and while he may not prove up to that level, he nonetheless ran a solid race from the front on debut, when ultimately passed in the home straight by two useful looking horses, with runner-up Hong Kong winning on his next start. Fame And Acclaim seemed to run with real promise on debut at the Curragh in September but failed to build on that display at the same venue recently. That maiden might prove a better maiden that today's but the fourth placed horse has been beaten since and Fame And Acclaim could be vulnerable to one or two rivals today. Whoareyouanyway, who is already gelded, ran a nice race on debut at Navan behind a stablemate winner. He ran on nicely late-on then and has solid claims today being a proven soft ground performer who should also benefit from today's step up in trip. Elusive King finished behind Hong Kong on his own debut over course and distance a fortnight ago and is another with proven form on soft ground who is also likely to progress from debut. Moving is a half-brother to two winners and could go well on debut for a top yard.
