FormscanBy Gary Carson - A large field and plenty will have been targeted at this big pot. The progressive MORRICONE may be able to land his hat-trick at the course. Ray Hackett's charge stayed on well when stepping up to this trip here in early February, getting up to beat a decent sort in Shannon Royale who went on to win subsequently. There is a good English presence in this and Montregard could be a big player off a nice weight. He overcame some sloppy jumping to win at Wetherby last time and is still unexposed. Millstream Lady ran really well in Grade 3 company at Limerick last month and only got a 2lb raise for that effort. She's another for the shortlist.
