FormscanBy Alan Magee - FEDERAL is obviously not the easiest to train but is an intriguing runner nevertheless. The Zoffany gelding won a Leopardstown maiden on his only juvenile start but has been sidelined for much of the time since with foot problems. He certainly made up for lost time when landing the Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh and while absent again for three months, the handicapper has not been too harsh. Yerwanthere has also joined Joseph O’Brien since winning in good style on debut at Leopardstown this summer for Pat Foley. Pierre Lapin won here on his penultimate start and remains on a competitive mark, while Howyoulikethat and Walhaan renew rivalry after being separated by a length over course and distance.
