FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Mark Walsh retains the ride on UHAVEMEINSTITCHES, who appears nicely treated. Out of an Irish National-winner, the selection won a Grade 3 in March while earlier efforts finishing behind high-class rivals The Big Westerner, Jade De Grugy and Dinoblue point to her bettering today’s 132 rating. Beckett Rock is unexposed and lightly-raced over fences and ran well over hurdles at Cheltenham in March, when he was hampered twice. He finished second in a Gowran handicap chase in February and stepping up in distance should help. Argento Boy was beaten 33 lengths into fourth in the Irish National but that wasn’t a bad effort while stablemate Captain exited early in the English-edition and was Grade 1-placed just last November. Invictus Machin is in form but exposed.
