FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Many worthy of attention here but two of the first to catch the eye are ARCTIC SOFIA and Millyinthemiddle. Not every horse enjoys the turning nature of the Kilbeggan circuit and it’s a big plus for Arctic Sofia that she’s already managed a course and distance success. That came when she was with Gordon Elliott in May 2019. She has her second start now for Robert Widger and the Waterford handler is likely looking forward to seeing what he can achieve with the Arctic Cosmos mare. He excelled of course with Treacysenniscorthy last season, and it looks a good move on his part to have booked talented 7Ib claimer Oakley Brown for the spin on Arctic Sofia. Millyinthemiddle is a very interesting handicap first-timer. If the market is positive for her then many will justifiably take the hint.
