FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A winner at Listowel earlier in the summer, ARCH ENEMY was caught late when second at Galway and lost her place early in the straight at Leopardstown on Thursday before rattling home to finish third. It's significant that Patrick Magee pulls her out again so quickly and the step up from a mile will suit her. Out On Friday recorded back-to-back wins over 1m4f at Fairyhouse in June and has run creditably in defeat since. A prominent racer, he went well for a long way when fifth over this trip at the Curragh last weekend. Apprentice won on her third handicap start at Tipperary in April and was fifth in her first start against older horses at Leopardstown the following month. She may have strengthened up after a nice break over the summer and her trainer was amongst the winners at Killarney this week.%0A
