FormscanBy John O'Riordan - APPROACHING BEAR catches the eye now stepped up to a mile for the first time. The Belardo colt should be suited to the trip, as a full-brother to a horse who gained his sole win over this distance. There was much to like about his staying on fourth at Galway on handicap debut having been slowly away. Ard Mhacha was a place in front of the O'Brien colt at Galway but has more on his plate at these revised weights. However, with Ben Coen back in the saddle, he is sure to be right on the premises. Blindsided ran very well on his second start at Listowel but has failed to back that up subsequently. He is bred to appreciate this trip so perhaps, he can improve on recent form. Slaney Tide stayed on nicely in her maiden at Leopardstown last time so is another with potential now handicapping.
An extended handicap for two years old only that are EBF eligible (80 = 9st 12lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
