FormscanBy Alan Magee - O CONNELL STREET may have been flattered by a wide margin win at Perth recently but still looks reasonably treated. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding has a smart jumping pedigree being a half-brother to five winners including Grade 1 Cheltenham Festival victor City Island and looks the type to progress further over fences. Riding arrangements suggest Marshalled is the pick of JP McManus’ three runners. He gained a deserved win over this trip at Killarney in May, while Cerberus was a smart juvenile hurdler but has yet to show the same level over fences including when pulling a shoe at Killarney last time.
