FormscanBy Mark Nunan - James McAuley would be entitled to emulate Joseph O’Brien and set up a satellite operation in America such is his proficiency in claimers and his two runners were in action in a similar contest at Bellewstown. Nine-time winner EASTERN RACER was claimed by McAuley after finishing sixth and Colin Keane rides him for the second time. The nine-year-old, beaten less than two lengths in a couple of Gowran handicaps earlier this summer, was runner-up in the corresponding race last year. Helen De Pourtales, who has been with her current trainer since last year, was touched off by a head at Bellewstown and has every chance on that form. Pino Del Rio stands out in this company with a rating of 85 but he failed to beat a rival when favourite for a Curragh handicap and it has to be questionable whether he can run to anywhere near his smart juvenile form
