Formscan By Michael Graham - A hot-looking race. FERNANDO VICHI put in plenty of powerful late work before failing by the minimum margin at Navan, so makes plenty of appeal. He has the same mile trip to negotiate, and holds a Group 2 entry so is well thought of. Gavin Ryan's 5lb claim could be crucial with any number of improvers to beat. Flight Zone must have been showing up well at home as he was sent off favourite on debut for a decent maiden at the Curragh. He couldn't go with the leaders at the business end and came in fifth. The runner-up has since obliged. It would be fair to assume there is much more to come from Group One National Stakes entry Flight Zone. Brazil is a full brother to Irish Derby winner Capri and could leave behind his debut fourth on rain-softened ground at Navan (behind Fernando Vichi). He also has the top-level entry and is given plenty of respect. Benaud is well named being by Australia, and adds further spice to the mix.
