FormscanBy Mark Nunan - LORD GILLYGOOLEY is being kept busy and might go one better than when second at Listowel last week. A mistake at the last ended the Scorpion gelding’s chance in that three-miler won by Outside The Door but he was nicely clear of the rest and it was another good run for his new yard after his previous third-place finish at Navan. He’s due to race off a 2lb higher mark in future handicaps. Yamato had Mutual Respect back in fifth when bolting up at Navan and is an obvious danger even after a 9lb hike. He’s up in trip by a couple of furlongs but that shouldn’t be an issue. Anno Maximo showed a bit more when fourth over 2m4f at Killarney and might be suited by this trip while Belles Benefit, a three-parts sister to the selection, has run well on her last two starts and is another to consider.%0A
