Formscan By John O'Riordan - Recent Ballinrobe second FREMANTLE DOCTOR can step up a place here. Keeping on well to be beaten a length, the John McConnell trained eight-year-old gave the impression that he had a race or two in him. This looks a nice opportunity for the son of Famous Name to belatedly record a first career success. Granlahan was a remote second at Downpatrick last time but the winner of that contest was given an enterprising ride. Ado McGuinness has his string in great form at present and his representative has to be respected. Tasmanian Girl hasn't been with trainer Declan Queally that long and is open to further improvement.

Quotes on Tomas O Maille (IRE)
We’re a long time trying to do it,. We tried a few times last year, and it’s like the Mayo team — don’t give up!. He called after the best footballer in the 70s, Tom O’Malley. It’s great to be able to do that here at Ballinrobe and Tom is here today. He’s a fun horse and he’s been knocking on the door and being placed. It’s getting everything right.
