FormscanBy Tom Weekes - RUN FOR OSCAR has been running at a high level on the flat and reverts to hurdling racing over an ideal distance. Winner of the 2022 English Cesarewitch, he finished third in the Group 1 Prix Du Cadran last September and while bigger targets await over the coming months, his latest hurdles' run - when racing over an inadequate 2m2f behind Zanahiyr last October, was encouraging. Jack Kennedy rides Beaufort Scale in preference to chaser Tullybeg. Beaufort Scale won a useful course-and-distance maiden last month but nonetheless faces a tougher task. Former Grade 1 winner Mr Adjudicator should improve from his Galway reappearance run but has plenty to prove as his most recent worthwhile form was achieved back in 2019.
