Formscan By John O'Riordan - Well backed when finishing fifth over a mile here last time, BREWING can gain a first Irish success. Although failing to land that gamble, the Kevin Coleman-trained seven-year-old shaped with plenty of promise, while giving the impression that he would be suited to this drop in trip. A winner off 93 when trained in Britain, the son of Showcasing is unquestionably well treated off his current rating. Exquisite Acclaim, who finished runner-up in the aforementioned contest, shouldn't be far away. Twice a winner over course and distance, the seven-year-old seldom runs a bad race at this venue. Although yet to convince at this trip, Innisfallen would be a serious threat if he does indeed stay this far.
