Curragh
Sun 27th Sep

Formscan By Gary Carson - A drop back in trip may suit VALENTINO ECLIPSE (5) and he can make it third time lucky. The Gleneagles colt ran a big race on his debut at Leopardstown back in May. He was edged out close home over seven then and a mile at the Curragh subsequently probably stretched him. That form though is solid as the race was won by Irish Cambridgeshire winner Loughrea. Otsana goes the other way, stepping up from the minimum trip having been third at Down Royal last time. She looks like the obvious danger. A Good Yarn made a promising debut when sixth here back in April and is another to consider.
