FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Chasing a first winner in the training ranks, the breakthrough ought to be just around the corner for Sean Davis, given that plenty of his horses have shown up well in recent times. He also rides his representative here, and VENETIAN looks worthy of an each-way play. We haven't seen the Awtaad gelding since February, and he wasn't in particularly good form then. However, the dual victor is capable at his best, and can go forward from his stall four berth to put himself in a good position as the race unfolds up the straight. Recent Gowran Park first and second placers, Cage Rattler and Passionate, will justifiably feature on many shortlists. Second in this twelve months back, Kodiac Prince has plenty going for him too, despite his top-weight impost.
