FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - There was an unfortunate experience for the Radfords, Mick Channon and Jonathan Burke when Glen Forsa was out of contention early, unseating in the Arkle here in 2019. That fellow was nicely fancied, and there could be better luck for the owner, trainer and jockey now through the similarly well-touted HOLD THE NOTE. What a loss the stallion Jeremy was, and the selection here is by that Danehill Dancer horse, like Appreciate It (1st), Happygolucky (2nd) and Black Tears (1st), who excelled here on the opening day. After wind-surgery Hold The Note ran a nice race at Newbury last time. He can build on that to account for Mount Ida, Deise Aba, Shantou Flyer, Plan Of Attack and Young Dev.
