FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - SUMMERGHAND drops back from the Group One company he kept last time. His 112-rating makes the Lope De Vega gelding the one to aim at, and Oisin Orr is on the six-year-old for the first time as he makes his second Irish appearance. Summerghand competed in the ‘Bold Lad’ at this track and trip in 2018. Cork native David O’Meara will likely have been content enough with Summerghand’s latest effort, when he was beaten five lengths by winner, Dream of Dreams, eighth of the thirteen horses in the Group One Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock on September 5th. Many others have three figure ratings and it has the ingredients for a fast and furious finish. Expect Urban Beat to be in there pitching.
