FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Two in here for Joseph O’Brien and his BATTLE OF ACTIUM gets the nod, though Fun Light is also respected. We haven’t seen Fun Light for nearly a year and he now begins in the Rectory Road Holdings Limited silks. That Leopardstown second placing that the Saddler Maker gelding achieved last time, reads very well, and the five-year-old’s movements in the betting will hopefully be revealing. Battle Of Actium has been in action in much more recent times, and the step-up to two and a half miles is taken to show the point-to-point winner in a more favourable light. This curtain-raiser appears to be open enough all told, with several boasting each-way claims, La Chanteuse being the pick of Stuart Crawford’s pair, ahead of Little Actress.
