FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SIRIUS won Monday's 'Connaught Hotel' in somewhat unusual circumstances and while a quick turnaround isn't ideal, is officially 5lb well-in and open to more progression. A dual French winner, she returned from 658 days off in June and while held-up well off the pace on Monday, looped the field to win easily. Her fixed 7lb penalty mightn't stop her. Five-time UK winner Eagle's Way debuted over hurdles for new connections in June before winning at Bellewstown. That form has been considerably boosted by the winner bolting-in and improving his rating to 102 subsequently, but nonetheless has plenty weight today. Last year's winner Brazil is still just a six-year-old and is sure to benefit from a recent chase run.
