FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A quality contest that revolves around SAINT ROI and Fil Dor. Performing at the highest level over flights, the selection is an exciting recruit to fences. Fourth to Honeysuckle on three separate occasions earlier this year, he was disappointing when dropped in class at Tipperary on his most recent start, finishing third to Santa Rossa. Fil Dor also starts off over fences and is in receipt of a weight allowance on account of his age. A runner-up three times in Grade 1 company, he was again second on his return to action at Naas last month. A bad mistake at the second last there virtually ended his challenge. Percy Warner, Sea Ducor and Slip Of The Tongue are the most interesting of the remainder. The former is three wins from four starts but hasn't been seen since January of last year and starts off for Henry de Bromhead now.
