Formscan By Donal Murphy - With impressive records at the track, Valiant Force, The Highway Rat and ECLAIRAGE look the ones to focus on. Despite being the lowest rated of the six, the Danny Murphy-trained latter is unbeaten in four starts at this all-weather venue, and led home her aforementioned rivals when successful over the course and distance in July. Now much better off at the weights, Valiant Force will be well-fancied to reverse the form, with the roan colt the highest rated runner in the field. Disappointing at Naas on Saturday, Fandom still warrants respect, while Black Forza and Songhai complete the line-up and both are capable of making an impact.
