FormscanBy Michael Graham - NUMEN has a rating of 96 after three runs and may yet prove better than this grade. He won his maiden at Leopardstown in June before being pitched into Listed class at the same track in July. He probably ran as well as could be expected in second behind his stablemate, the clearly very useful Delphi. The Galileo colt holds another Listed entry for this weekend. War Diary disappointed in Galway, when running freely, and has every chance of making amends. On his penultimate start he took second in the Cork Derby, a race in which the form is very strong. He is a very lightly-raced five-year-old. Enable's half-brother Centroid held on by a nose in a different handicap at Galway which has to give him prospects, particularly with Dylan Browne McMonagle claiming a handy 7lbs off his back.
