FormscanBy Michael Graham - This is a drop in class for HARANA (1) who ran a fair race in fifth in the Nasrullah Handicap at Leopardstown just over a fortnight ago. Dermot Weld's charge wasn't winning out of turn on her penultimate start in a Ballinrobe maiden. Dylan Browne McMonagle comes in for the ride on Liberation Date who ran a stormer in third in a very valuable handicap over further at the Curragh, so her chance has to be respected. Hambleton is in good heart after a victory in Cork and a close second at York, while Frank Pickle enjoyed fast ground when victorious in this grade at Leopardstown. Afterwards, connections stated that he is learning to relax, so there could be more to come from him.
