FormscanBy Alan Magee - IT’S A HEARTBEAT has progressed nicely with each run and made a mockery of her initial handicap mark of 89 when readily beating Shaool over this trip at the Curragh. That form has been boosted since and the daughter of Too Darn Hot can cope with this step up in class. Island Hopping is the form pick on her third to Minnie Hauk in the Juddmonte Irish Oaks and she may have been unsuited by the soft ground when third to La Isla Mujeres in the Oyster Stakes at Galway last month with Lemsairbat, Romzina, Cheeky Wink, Calrissiana, Beset and Galileo Dame all behind. Bonnie Moon showed improved form when runner-up in that Galway Listed race and can’t be discounted.
