FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - HOLY WATER made a decent start for current connections, here in the middle of the month. We hadn't seen the Holy Roman Emperor gelding, since September 2013, when he was under the care of Jonathan Portman, until his close up fourth placing behind Headlong on February 13th. He finished off his race well on that occasion, and one would imagine that all he'll do is come forward for that effort. Virile (hooded now), a 6,000 guineas buy out of the Richard Hannon yard, could be a factor for the in-form Shane Donohoe, and hopefully the betting will reveal plenty. The assessor has Holy Water on 61, so On The Motorway has to be considered given that the handicapper views him as a 65 performer. Don't completely rule Intrepid Glory out, whilst Tubeanie was bought out of a claimer in France last month. She missed an engagement here last week, owing to being in season, and she's now tried in a tongue-strap.
