FormscanBy Gary Carson - The 90-rated STURLASSON can get off the mark on his return to action. The Invincible Army gelding was highly tried last season after a couple of good runner-up efforts in maiden company to start his campaign. He chased home star juvenile Bucanero Fuerte on his debut and wasn't beaten far in Listed company at HQ in August. Shandy looked like she would improve from her debut run when third to Samuel Colt at the Curragh in late October. She travelled well then but failed to get home and drops back to the minimum trip now. Paddy Twomey-trained newcomers always have to be respected in maidens and the market will be the best guide to the chances of Heart Of Darkness.
