FormscanBy Donal Murphy - First reserve Rambranlt'jac will change the complexion of this race if getting a run. Trained by Willie Mullins, the French import was fifth and third in two starts in his native land, the latest of which came in September of last year. Out of a Grade 3 winner over flights, he won't have to be a superstar to claim this weak contest. The Cathal Don failed to make a significant impact on his racecourse debut at Thurles last month. He is however a half-brother to The Mighty Don (a smart performer in the UK for Nick Gifford) and it'll be disappointing if he fails to improve on that initial effort. CAPILANO BRIDGE is the stand out name on form and he should prove hard to beat. The son of Stowaway was a good third at Wexford on his most recent start and he deserves to get his turn now. Miss Arccol, point-to-point winner Kilandra and Orcadian Symphony all have each-way claims.
