FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Sky God is in as third reserve in a handicap at Leopardstown on Tuesday afternoon. The Tamayuz gelding has joined Tony Martin from Dermot Weld since his last outing, and is very much one to keep an eye on with Seamie Heffernan booked as he starts off in handicaps. Divine Celt is another beginning for a new trainer, and she’s one that might show more, having come under John Murphy’s tutelage. For a selection an each-way chance is taken on OVERTAKE (tongue-strap now tried), despite his wide draw. Michael Halford remarked of this fellow at the beginning of May: “He has grown a lot since we bought him at the breeze-up sales last year. He may just have fallen into a good handicap mark and he’s a horse that will appreciate good ground.” Meanwhile Ado McGuinness said on Philly’s Hope: “She’ll go for three-year-old handicaps this year and I think she’ll have a day. She’d like an ease in the ground.”
An extended handicap for three years old only rated 45-65 Weights - Top weight in the original handicap and after the time of declaration shall not be less than 10st and the minimum weight is 8st 6lbs Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 6lb extra for each race won.
