FormscanBy Gary Carson - A tricky looking contest and MAGNANIMOUS may be able to continue his winning run stepping up into Listed company. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt had a couple of solid runner-up efforts in maidens before getting off the mark tried in a nursery at Cork. He followed that up with a gutsy success at Listowel recently and off a mark of 97 now is entitled to take his chance here. The fact that he is battle hardened may give him an edge against a couple of these. Stable-mate Toshizou was pushed hard late on when scoring on his second outing at Tipperary last month but there may be more to come from the Galileo colt. Deputy Sandy looked a nice sort when scoring on his official debut at Naas and is another who could step forward from that run. Admiral Nelson has been keeping good company since his maiden win and dropping slightly in grade now is another to consider.
