FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Dermot Weld knows how to win this race and is chasing a sixth successive win and his 15th in the last 20 years with BROOCH, a half sister to the trainer's smart performer Caponata. She is very likely to have plenty ability and is by a good stallion who stood for USD100,00 until being transferred to Japan in 2011. Duchess Andorra is a reasonable form alternative having proven herself useful, with a rating of 76. She bumped into two useful types in Beyond Brilliance and Witches Brew in two of her runs and interestingly, was narrowly held by the Weld trained Wateed at Bellewstown. Ballymac Rosey was well beaten by the winner but ran with credit at Ballinrobe latest and looks likely to improve for the run and has sound place claims. Front Run is a half brother to four winners (including a staying Group 2 winner) and is possibly Chris Hayes' pick of the Andy Oliver pair (gelded Columbanus is also a half brother to a Group 2 winner). Gradatim, already gelded, is a half brother to three winners but might do better with this experience behind him.
