FormscanBy Alan Magee - This looks possibly the stronger of the two divisions with MUSALSAL Pinpointed, Matilda With Me and Aussie Valentine a strong quartet to concentrate on. The Richard O’Brien-trained gelding won twice with cut in the ground at Gowran Park last summer including over this trip. The son of Shamardal has filled the runner-up spot twice in recent weeks over seven furlongs and will be well served by this step up in trip. Pinpointed attracted support on her first start for John Kiely when beating all bar Akhlaaq at Leopardstown, while Matilda With Me also ran well on her return to the turf when runner-up to Pineapple Express at Gowran. Aussie Valentine showed definite signs of a return to form when just over two lengths back in third. The ten-year-old, who held a career high rating of 100 with seven wins and well over 200,000 euro in prize-money, has dropped down to an attractive mark.
