Formscan By Michael Graham - The 96-rated GO JUST DO IT sets the standard and can resume winning ways. Last season, he was a fair third in Group 2 company and easily shed his maiden tag at Gowran Park in April. That earned him a shot at the Irish 2,000 Guineas where he found the opposition too hot. He should enjoy this drop in class and trip having been placed over 6f as a juvenile. Amiata has three sprint victories in the book and delivered in a premier handicap when last seen at the Curragh. He receives plenty of weight from Go Just Do It with Nicola Burns claiming 5lb, and is a big player. Gavoo has good form over 6f and could contend for honours.

Quotes on Amiata (IRE)
Amiata is a horse we've always liked and he ran well first time. I then thought it was a matter of turning up and doing that the second time but he didn't. We gelded him, brought him back for the Ballyhane race and the last day we made a mistake by putting blinkers on and he did way too much. Today is more like what we have been seeing. I’m delighted for Philip Richards, who is a lovely, lovely owner and lets us get on with the job. Kerri (Lyons, daughter) is buying the horses for him and I'm delighted to train him a winner.

Quotes on Oro Blanco (IRE)
We’re delighted with him. Ciaran O’Toole picked him up at the Goffs Classic Sale last year. We bided our time with him, gave him plenty of time, and fair play to the lads. He was just a big, weak, horse last year. He’s progressed from each run. He’s a nice progressive horse. We’ll see where we go from here.
