Formscan - This is competitive stuff and TAMARIND BAY just edges it. Mickey Bowen's charge has generally improved since switching to fences and didn't let a mishap here two starts ago dent his confidence as he ran out an impressive Bangor winner at the start of the month. Open to improvement over this trip, he gets the vote ahead of the consistent Caughtinyourtrance and Breizh River, who performed admirably for third in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. Keep an eye on Etalon and Boston Rover too.

Quotes on The Real Whacker (IRE)
. He races in a great manner — although he’s in front and he’s doing a lot of the hard work you’re able to get the breathers in everywhere you want. With his jumping he’s always filling himself up, my God it feels like a long way up the run-in!

Quotes on Boston Rover (IRE)
He is a nice horse, is going the right way and we are learning about him the whole time. When he gets to the front, he just does what he has to do but Jack was good on him and just went through the motions until going down to the last. He said he won snugly at the line and I'd say he will handle softer ground. Derek (Barry, owner) is from Straffan and trained but said he got to the stage where he couldn't get staff to ride the horses. He sent us down a couple of horses and is a big supporter of the yard, so it is great to see him get winners.
