Formscan By Gary Carson - Aidan O'Brien has won this race with some smart sorts in the past, most notably with Paddington two years ago, and SERENGETI could be another 'group horse in a handicap'. The son of Wootton Bassett improved with racing last year and was still a touch green when scoring at Dundalk in late October. There could be plenty of improvement to come from him this year. Tangapour, another son of Wootton Bassett, finished last year with a good win in testing conditions at Killarney and is another potential improver. Temperance ran well on her return in a Dundalk maiden and is another to consider.%0A

An extended handicap for three years old only that at entry have run two or more times under any Rules of Racing and are eligible for a handicap rating (100 = 9st 12lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
