Formscan By Donal Murphy - With Dylan Browne McMonagle suspended, Declan McDonogh takes over on DEFIANTLY. Missing the break on debut before coming home strongly to finish a never nearer third, he showed the benefit of that experience when making the breakthrough on his second start at Killarney. A real stayer, he should appreciate this step-up in trip and first time cheekpieces might also bring about some further improvement. Bidding to complete a hat-trick at the venue, Happy Pharoah is sure to have plenty of supporters. He beat the selection when they clashed here in June and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to uphold the form. Not seen since winning the Ulster Derby, Vorfreude is of definite interest, while Galveston is the one they all have to beat on ratings.
