FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - PARENT’S PRAYER is back in search of further course and distance gains after triumphing in the Listed Garnet Stakes when last seen in October. Ben Coen was aboard then, but he’s Johnny Murtagh’s stable jockey now, and he mightn’t be completely out of this either on Pronouncement. Rider of the selection here, Oisin Orr, took the reins when Parent’s Prayer finished third at Gowran in September, and there may well be more to come from the daughter of Kingman this year. With a rating of 80 to her name Sasta would appear to have a lot on her plate, though looking elsewhere it’s not as easy to put a line through much else. Sziget is officially assessed a 90 performer, which leaves her with something to find with the principals. On the plus side she’s a course winner with Colin Keane up top.
