FormscanBy John O'Riordan - With leading apprentice Keithen Kennedy booked, Ger O'Leary's JABBAR catches the eye in this tricky handicap. A winner on his reappearance at Roscommon in May, the five-year-old ran well off his revised mark when third back at that same track on his latest outing. Stepping up an additional furlong here should suit the Galileo Gold gelding. The Jarlath Fahey-trained mare Whatcouldhavebeen has to be of interest reverting to the flat. Grade 1 placed over hurdles, the daughter of Battle Of Marengo is undoubtedly well treated off a mark of 69 in this discipline. Recent course and distance winner Calmafterthestorm is another capable of making her presence felt if taking up this engagement.
