FormscanBy Mark Nunan - IDEAL PAL is a good advertisement for his sire Tough As Nails and seems to have maintained his progression this year. After a midsummer hat-trick in 2019, he was a game winner on his reappearance at Gowran and his third to Patrick Sarsfield (winner off 15lbs higher mark next time) was a fine effort. On The Balcony was touched off by the selection at Gowran and is very much unexposed, while Isotope (seventh) came forward from that run to be a close third in the Apprentice Derby at the Curragh. Leagan Gaeilge has her first start since winning over hurdles at Christmas and she’s open to more improvement back on the Flat, while Segenhoe showed promise in maidens and is one that Charles Byrnes will place to advantage before too long.
