FormscanBy Mark Nunan - It would have been hard to envisage tipping HIDDEN LAND for a race over 1m7f when watching her run too freely several times at Dundalk over the winter, but she has been settling much better of late. Formerly trained by Pascal Bary for the Niarchos family, she was touched off by Little Brother over twelve furlongs at this course before sticking to her task well when third at Down Royal last week. From a stable in form, the daughter of Kentucky Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic runner-up Hard Spun can get her head in front here. Topweight Malbas got a 12lb hike for winning well at Tipperary, with Little Brother back in third, and was second in a course and distance handicap a couple of years ago so has obvious claims. Little Brother is entitled to be thereabouts again, and in-form three-year-old Lunar Power is another who could relish going up in trip.
