FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - He hasn’t run on the all-weather before but DARK PINE will justifiably be the choice of many with that eye-catching 88-rating to his name. The Dandy Man gelding was unfortunate to run into the likes of Confidence High last time, and that fellow, a winner on his previous start, has gone on to place second in Group Three company. Blinkers that Dark Pine wore for the first time when silver medalling at Leopardstown, are unsurprisingly retained. Two others are in possession of a published mark. Bestrella (75) and Glass Of Bubbles (70) should be on the premises at the business end. There was a pleasing introductory effort from My Giddy Aunt Rose at Fairyhouse over a fortnight back. She should be all the better for coming back to seven furlongs.
