FormscanBy Alan Magee - BIRD OF PLAY caught the eye on debut over this trip at the Curragh last weekend and has obvious claims. The Henry de Bromhead-trained colt lost ground at the start and had plenty to do after halfway but came home to great effect when beating all bar Daamberdiplomat in a 19-runner maiden. He should learn from that experience and Wayne Lordan again takes the ride. Mount Ruapehu showed improved form when prominent throughout at the Curragh earlier this month but has a stiff task trying to concede 10lb to the selection. Nituna has shown promise in better company, while Rubio Draco may appreciate some ease in the ground being a brother to Downforce. Heartrate, Halftime Show and Mount Mary are other newcomers to note in the market.
