FormscanBy Mark Nunan - RANSOM has to defy a welter burden but comes here in great form and may be up to the task. He’s been beaten less than a length when runner-up in his last two outings at Navan and Listowel and his stable is in excellent form. Fastman is four years without a win but is clearly on a competitive mark after three successive placed efforts. He turns out again quickly after finishing second over 7f at Down Royal on Monday. Tara Power was second over course and distance in July and is now 2lb lower. He wasn’t beaten far when sixth at Punchestown last time and may improve for the fitting of headgear.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-75Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
