FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The admirable veteran ITSALONGLONGROAD can gain a sixth career Flat win. A previous course and distance winner, the gelding has the services of one of the more experienced riders in Paddy Harnett. Fresh from a hugely encouraging return to the Flat when third at Tramore recently, he can make all. Runner-up in a claimer here last month, I Do Believe has to be respected on her first start for trainer Ian Donoghue. Serotonin and Steps In The Sand are others to consider in a competitive race for the grade.
