FormscanBy Michael Graham - ERZINDJAN has each-way claims in a deep race. His best form is on rain-softened ground so the forecast plays to his strengths. This year he has been placed in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed race (over seven furlongs) at this track. He faced a tough task in a Group 2 at Leopardstown over Irish Champions Weekend but was beaten just over two lengths into seventh. He should appreciate dropping back to Listed company. Jessica Harrington's Irish Cambridgeshire winner Bopedro has rocketed to a mark of 107. He is three from three in Cork so has to be given plenty of respect. His stablemate, Laelaps, will welcome any rain and arrives in good form after a victory in a Listowel handicap. Queenship is up in class after a victory in a fillies' handicap at Gowran Park in April. She travelled well before drawing five lengths clear so there is the potential for more to come.
