FormscanBy Michael Graham - Joseph O'Brien holds a very strong hand with VEGA MAGNIFICO and Arniemac. The former is comfortably the highest rated in the field with a mark of 98 and should relish this marked drop in class. He wasn't a factor in the Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh or in a Listed race at Roscommon, however, just three runs back he finished a close third in Listed class at Leopardstown. Arniemac was last seen decisively winning a maiden at Killarney in May. Winners have come out of that race and he ought to go well in this company. Herculaneum is rated 1lb inferior to Arniemac on a mark of 82 and was a comprehensive winner of a staying handicap at Down Royal in July. This trip is sharp for him, but he is well ahead of the remainder on official ratings.
