Formscan By Michael Graham - A race where a market check is essential. The starting point is Aidan O'Brien's PORT FERDINAND who holds a Group 2 entry in the Beresford Stakes in the Curragh at the end of the month. He's by Camelot out of a double Group-One winner, so there's a lot to like on paper. O'Brien also saddles Cape Primrose who has plenty of quality in her pedigree. Donnacha O'Brien's Eniac has the benefit of a runner-up spot in a barrier trial at Leopardstown last month which should stand to him. His stablemate, Gatlinburg, made 200,000gns at the sales and is a well-related sort, while Kactus Jack was a place behind Eniac in the aforementioned barrier trial.
