Formscan  - CAYMAN TAI showed promise as a juvenile and progressed nicely as 2024 unfolded. Last seen when a respectable seventh in a valuable nursery at York in August, this could be an ideal piece of placement by Richard Hannon for the returning son of Earthlight, who takes a drop back down in class today. Fan Mail and Lesley's Boy run for yards with very healthy strike-rates at this venue, with the latter being especially notable given Richard Fahey won four consecutive renewals of this race from 2015 to 2019.
