Formscan - With an official rating of 86, Blue Hercules sets a decent standard and returns to maiden company following a solid fifth at the Shergar Cup but there is a fascinating Irish raider in the shape of WINDAY. The son of Galiway showed some ability for Emmet Mullins as a juvenile and is now back in the fold following a French hurdling campaign where he held his own in smart company. Neswick and Phantom Recon are good enough to pick up prize money, and Saaffya is worth a look on her belated introduction.
