FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The John McConnell-trained STANHOPE could represent some value back at a track where he has excelled in the past. Now a nine-year-old, the gelding has won three times at this venue and finished runner-up on his most recent visit here in June. Testing ground should prove no hindrance to the Equiano colt who also has a potentially favourable high draw. Merisi Diamond has little to recommend him in terms of form but it interesting that the locally trained gelding has remained in training late into his four-year-old career, with connections securing the services of in-form apprentice Conor Stone-Walsh. Art Of Unity has been running consistently well of late so has to enter calculations on the back of another solid effort when runner-up at Bellewstown last week.
