FormscanBy Alan Magee - Kevin Prendergast may have found a good opportunity for TAQASEEM to open his account. The son of Teofilo showed promise in a couple of juvenile outings including when a distant runner-up to Highland Reel at this venue but was out of action for nearly two years until returning this term. He could hardly be described as progressive but at least stays a mile and a half well, and can act on a sound surface. The Aga Khan-bred Dalmatia was owned by The Queen when placed a number of times under the care of Sir Michael Stoute. She’s been mainly campaigned over hurdles by current connections winning a Clonmel maiden last year. Rashaan is probably the most interesting runner, and would be a short price if this were a hurdle race on soft ground. He was one of the leading juvenile hurdlers last term given preferred conditions but may find this ground too quick.
