FormscanBy Tom Weekes - PAT OS ROCK ran promisingly last month. By Walk In The Park and a half-sister to useful Beckett Rock, she finished her Wexford debut quite well and while that form isn’t outstanding, hinted that she would improve at this trip. Tamara Jane was well-supported at Galway and while she faded having made the running, now drops to a lesser bumper. Back In Favour finished third in a winners’ bumper at Galway, having previously gone unsold at 14,000 pounds following a May point-to-point success. At Galway, she was promoted from fourth to third-place, but finished well. Ballito Beauty ran well at Sligo, when she had to be switched to challenge, and can confirm placings with Peat Sounds, although that form isn’t special.
