FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - Course and distance second, AR NOS NA GAOITHE lost out to a very well handicapped rival, Pralognan of Tony Martins last time out, who has since gone on to win a Newcastle flat handicap. This performance would have Philip Rothwell’s contender as the obvious pick in this contest, but he received two pounds for that run and is now 13 pounds above his last winning mark, although Tiernan Power-Roche’s claim should lessen that burden. Off a welterweight, Fire Coral is bound to have every chance especially if reproducing the form of her last run here. Now on stable debut for Sam Curling, this daughter of Sea The Stars has been dropped six pounds by the handicapper leaving her on a very enticing mark. On the pick of Hidalgo Des Mottes’ form, he should be competitive in this race as the eight-year-old made a good reappearance when third at Cork%3B however, he has failed to build upon this. Both Centaq and Firstupbestdressed are making their second starts in handicaps, making any market moves interesting.
