FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Paul Flynn-trained CHEERS AGAIN can open his account on turf. A three-time winner at Dundalk, the five-year-old was somewhat unlucky in running when third over this course and distance last time. Short of room on the rail over two furlongs out, the gelding finished strongly once the gaps appeared. State Actor, the winner of that aforementioned race, gives the impression of having plenty more to offer. The lightly raced four-year-old quickened up smartly to score last time and has scope off 9lb higher. Colin Keane looks a significant booking. Coeur d'Or makes a quick reappearance having run really well at Royal Ascot recently. Dermot Weld's gelding is capable of getting involved under Chris Hayes.
