FormscanBy John O'Riordan - PINAR DEL RIO can strike on his second start for trainer Alan McIntyre. A three-time previous winner, the Havana Gold gelding ran a solid race on stable debut when fourth at Dundalk in January. Given that he had never raced on the surface before and, wasn't asked to do so after, it is likely that he is just a better horse on turf. Down to a mark of 70, the seven-year-old looks nicely treated these days and, he finished runner-up over course and distance off 9lb higher a year ago. Having run well over sprint trips of late, Go Out should appreciate stepping back up to 7f here. Cork third Notforalongtime looks another with decent claims from a favourable draw.
