FormscanBy Gary Carson - IRWIN ran with plenty of promise on his debut here last month and looks the one to beat given natural improvement. The Australia colt missed the kick first time out but ran a nice race to finish third to Catena Zapata in a winners contest. He had the 90-rated Let Me Pass in behind in fourth then so the form looks solid. He looks well capable of surpassing the rating of 76 that Razdan has been awarded. The Michael Halford-trained colt was second on his official debut at Leopardstown in August but didn't really look to progress from that, including when eighth here in October. Virtual Hug ran well in handicap company here in late November but looks to have a bit to find off a mark of 65.
