Formscan By Gary Carson - CHAMPION GREEN should be able to open his account here after a decent comeback run at Galway in late July. He had shown plenty of promise as a juvenile, particularly when a fast finishing fifth in a strong Curragh maiden last November. After a lengthy enough absence the son of The Gurkha missed the kick at Ballybrit but stayed on nicely to take third behind Sherkin Island. Going another furlong here won't be any harm and he should prove the one to beat. Manwal has been placed on his last three outings and looks an obvious danger. The handicapper has given him a mark of 77 and it would be disappointing if the selection wasn't capable of better than that. Midnight Traveller only cost %A37,000 at the sales and has to overcome a long absence. He showed promise on his sole start in England, when third at Chelmsford, and it will be interesting to see how he fares on his first outing for James McAuley. Moracana, second at a big price on her debut at Navan, is another that has to be considered.
