FormscanBy Gary Carson - Paddy Hanlon's claim leaves FUTURUM REGEM on a feather weight and he gets the vote. The Sir Prancealot gelding was moving into contention last time in Bellewstown when making a mistake two from home. He had to settle for third in the end, behind Como Park, and off the same mark looks capable of scoring now. Zeeband was a good winner over in Bangor last time and despite running off a 10lb higher mark now back on Irish soil he commands respect. Donacheady Gale has been knocking on the door and lost out by the narrowest of margins in Kilbeggan last time. He's another for the shortlist.
