FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Track and trip scorer from just over three weeks back, The Alpha Man is respected, but the bronze medalist from that occasion, HAN SOLO gets the nod. The local runner raced in mid-division that afternoon, and was pushed along on the outer two furlongs out. Ridden and making some headway in sixth a furlong out, from there home the Havana Gold gelding impressed, his finishing effort taking him to within a nose and a head of The Alpha Man and Tipperary Moon. Up a pound for that nearest at the finish effort, Austin Leahy’s charge may defy a wide draw out in fifteen, with the assistance of talented seven pound apprentice Siobhan Rutledge aboard. Plenty of these look capable of making their presence felt, and Gatsby Cap appeals as one that will go well in his bid to supplement Gowran gains from last month.
