FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Up to an extended mile and a half with his 90-rating MONUMENT VALLEY should take a bit of beating. He found subsequent Derby hero Serpentine nine lengths his superior at the Curragh last month, before failing to justify odds-on favouritism at Cork just over a week back. The son of Galileo didn’t lose much in defeat when going down to Taramansour then, and he really should be up to opening his account now. Alatar has the benefit of racing in handicap company last time. Albeit that did come in a small field Roscommon heat. There was plenty of money about for Alatar then, when he finished third behind Yulong Pearlisland and Dazzling Darren. It’ll be interesting to see how the 81-rated performer fares out on this livelier surface. Desert Highway, Monopoly and Royal Free Hotel are probably place contenders.
