FormscanBy Mark Nunan - FIRSTMAN just failed to get up over 1m2f at Down Royal on Monday and is due to go up 2lb in future handicaps. He landed a Roscommon contest over 1m4f last month and will be well suited by a return to that distance. Ben Coen’s mount is drawn on the inner and beside him in stall two is likely danger Boom Boom Boom. He was strong at the finish when beating stablemate Estepona Sun over 1m2f at Navan in July and the latter bids to advertise that form in the first division. Intend was a comfortable winner over 1m6f at Navan and was just collared over this trip on the all-weather last week. He’s another who is ahead of the handicapper having been raised 5lb for that latest run which clearly makes him a danger to all.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-65Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
