FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - SACCHOANDVANZETTI is rated 126 over hurdles so he’s of obvious interest here off 69 with Dylan Browne McMonagle aboard with his seven pound claim. The son of Finsceal Fior was tried over various trips in his previous Flat outings, when under the care of Jim Bolger. He was a bit disappointing once or twice then, but it always looked only a matter of time before he’d shed his maiden tag. As it transpired he’s made a better hurdler, winning twice at that game and competing in graded company. However you’d have to think that there’s unfinished business with Sacchoandvanzetti on the level. Encouragingly with regard to the fact that he hasn’t been out since March, the now John Queally-trained four-year-old did run well off a 222 day break in the past. The Abbey, Final Orders, Mountain Fox and Thefaithfulindian are others that catch the eye.
