Formscan By Donal Murphy - Third in the opener at this fixture 12-months ago, KENTUCKY BEACH has filled the runner-up spot three times in four starts since. Beaten by just a neck on his penultimate outing, he drew 12-lengths clear of the third when second to the well-backed Fierce Handay at Fairyhouse before Christmas. A three-time winner in 2025, Luminous Light is the second choice. Ninth of 24 when last seen over flights in an ultra-competitive affair at the Punchestown festival in April, he should be able to make his presence felt in a contest of this quality. A solid fourth when last seen in a much stronger race, Icare D'aubrelle warrants the utmost respect in first time cheekpieces, while Captain Ryan Matt and dual UK winner Jupiter Du Gite are others of interest.
