Formscan By John O'Riordan - This looks a nice opportunity for the Michael O'Callaghan-trained BAMAKO BEACH(4) to shed his maiden status. Runner-up on his first two starts, the Sands Of Mali colt was far from disgraced when finishing seventh in the Group 1 Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh last time. Taking a significant drop in class here, the 102-rated colt sets a very high standard and, it would be a surprise if he doesn't get his head in front. Placed on both runs this season, Sindagan rates the main threat. Although looking to have plenty to find on official ratings, the Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding has plenty experience at this level. Dundalk third Passage Of Power looks best of the remainder.
