FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Arthur Moore-trained THE MIRACLE MAN can record a second win at this track. Successful here last October, the gelding beat a subsequent winner at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start. A real eye-catcher when staying on late to finish sixth in a much higher grade last time, the son of Workforce looks well handicapped on the basis of that effort. Stepping up in trip should really play to his strengths as the seven-year-old looks to have an abundance of stamina. Runner-up at Warwick last month, the Shark Hanlon-trained Roxboro River should again be involved. Hanlon couldn't have his horses in better form at present. Lets Do This is another to consider in a first-time tongue tie.
