Going - Soft to Heavy. Overcast

Formscan By Gary Carson - DUKE OF MANTUA was an eye-catcher on his debut at the Curragh 11 days ago and can step forward to open his account now. The son of No Nay Never found his feet late on then, over six furlongs, when finishing off well in third behind stable-mate St Mark's Basilica. That run under his belt and stepping up in trip now should be a big help. The form of the race that Magnanimous finished second in at the Curragh last time has been well franked since and he looks an obvious danger. The Mehmas colt ran around a touch in front when asked for an effort then, still looking a touch green despite it being his third run. Sword Zorro is another obvious contender having been placed on all three starts to date. He was reported to be hanging left in the straight when going down by a length to Wembley at Roscommon last time but it was still a solid effort and he's entitled to be thereabouts again.%0A
