Formscan By Michael Graham - BAD DESIRE, who holds three Group 2 entries, can build upon a promising runner-up berth on debut at Galway. He was collared in the closing stages by a short-priced favourite who is due to contest a Group 3 at York on Wednesday. Testing ground will hold no fears for him after that performance. Cambridge is a half-brother to a Listed winner and holds a Group 2 entry at Newmarket next month. He is an obvious threat on his racecourse debut for Aidan O'Brien. The form of Star Hunter's third place at Leopardstown in May has been very well franked. He doesn't have any notable entries but, if handling this much slower ground, should be a danger to all. Thor's Hammer showed considerable improvement when filling the runner-up berth on his second start in Killarney. He was well backed that day and slow ground will suit him fine.
