FormscanBy Tom Weekes - VALENTINO ECLIPSE has a good pedigree and showed nice ability on debut. Out of an unraced half-sister to English Derby runner-up Dee Ex Bee and from the family of Dubai Millennium, the homebred selection wore a hood for his Leopardstown debut and having been slowly away, finished well to take second place. That form is nothing special but he is open to plenty progression. Four-year-old Loughrea ran well at Gowran in May while 79-rated Karrygrant should also figure. Bang Bang looks vulnerable to more progressive types while Gliondar is gelded for his debut but is a half-brother to French 2,000 Guineas-winner Metropolitan, and appears on a notable weekend.
