FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Three in here for James McAuley and BEHIND THE WALL and Haayem (first-time cheek-pieces) are both having their second starts for the Hilltop Stables team. In the case of Tony The Gent it’s outing number three for the County Dublin handler, since returning from Denis Hogan’s string. It won’t be easy for him on handicap debut but Behind The Wall, with champion jockey Colin Keane booked, is the choice. The Society Rock gelding is drawn out in twelve, and he’s back in trip after finishing fourth here in a maiden last week. A mile promises to suit the lightly-raced four-year-old nicely. Former Royal Ascot hero, Settle For Bay, and recent second placer, Fridtjof Nansen, are among the others that need considering.
