FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - DRUMMER finally got there to shed his maiden tag at Leopardstown on Thursday and a quick follow up could be on the cards. The Smart Strike gelding marginally got the better of Divine Celt and Giustino on that occasion. It was a noteworthy win for Drummer given that Giustino was an odds-on three-year-old from the Joseph O’Brien yard with the appearance of being a handicap ‘good thing.’ Confidence gained then for Denis Hogan’s six-year-old may spur him home in front again, with Joe Doyle in the plate this time too. Craic Eile, the other last time out winner (over hurdles) in the line-up, is very much respected. There are a few others in here that can be fancied to at least make the frame.
