FormscanBy Donal Murphy - POWERFUL NATION is the suggestion in this competitive Listed affair. Beaten by a short head on debut at Cork, he went a place better on his next start at the Mallow venue, with subsequent winners in second and third. The Windsor Castle was then mooted as an option for the Sioux Nation bay, but he comes here fresh after skipping that Royal Ascot heat. Treasure Isle, Celtic Chieftain and Sir Yoshi are three who did line-up in the Windsor Castle, with the David Marnane-trained latter a highly respectable seventh of 27. The Mehmas colt already has a course and distance win to his name and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to strike again. The aforementioned Celtic Chieftain and Treasure Isle both flopped at Royal Ascot and are on a retrieval mission, with Ryan Moore staying loyal to the latter. Proudly Yours and Bath winner Lady With The Lamp are others of interest.
