FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MR RANGO can strike on just his second start for trainer John Harney. Fourth over course and distance in a premier handicap for Ross O'Sullivan last backend, the six-year-old ran a big race on his stable debut when third over 7f at Naas last month. Jockey Shane Foley, who was on board on that occasion, retains the ride, so that has to be viewed as a positive. Sirjack Thomas was a place behind Mr Rango in the aforementioned race but again ran well when third at Cork last weekend. Having had two runs already this season, the veteran won't lack in terms of fitness. Fast Tara is an interesting contender on her first outing for trainer Joseph O'Brien. Although not seen since October, the Fast Company filly drops in class and will appreciate the ground conditions.
