FormscanBy Mark Nunan - WAY TO WIN was a wide margin juvenile winner on soft ground when trained in Britain. He found himself badly handicapped as a result but now seems on a competitive mark judged on his third run for current connections at Listowel. The three-year-old found only Run For Jewels too strong over a mile and that progressive rival was winning for the third time in five starts. The gelded son of The Gurkha again showed his aptitude for handling testing conditions on that latest outing and can go well here under Bill Lee. Angel’s Trumpet was a course and distance winner on soft ground last season and enjoyed back-to-back victories at Gowran Park in early summer. There was little wrong with his latest second over 7f at Galway and stepping back up to this trip will suit. First-time blinkers worked for Drish Melody over course and distance earlier this month but a 9lb rise makes life harder while Carlton Banks has dropped appreciably in the ratings and is interesting trying a mile for the first time with headgear added.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-70Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
