FormscanBy Alan Magee - Colin Keane is currently serving a ten-day ban for failing to weigh in having inadvertently stepped into the jockey’s room after 'winning' a Wexford handicap on UNREQUITED off a mark of 79. Connections can gain compensation here over the same mile and a half trip, and confidence is taken from the fact that the Wexford beneficiary Coolfighter has since completed a four-timer at Clonmel. Ashbury Boss and Wrap Star were separated by just a head when taking minor honours behind Vivat Rex at Galway earlier this month. Wrap Star was ridden more prominently there compared to his staying on third behind Winter Lion over an extra quarter mile in a Killarney handicap. John Oxx’s charge may need a greater stamina test than this. Aidan O’Brien, trainer of Vivat Rex, is now represented by A Greater Force. The son of Montjeu can be expected to step forward from his Leopardstown debut and, taking a line through Thunder Zone, is very much in the mix. Lucky Pat is also of interest having made virtually all in a Galway bumper and followed up in good style over hurdles at Kilbeggan.
