FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Obviously the stable’s runners could be performing an awful lot better than they are at present but ALIYM gets the vote in any case. It’s difficult to believe that a Naas debut bumper victor would be winless in twelve starts since, but the chestnut’s owners can perhaps soon be rewarded for their patience. On his second start for Mrs Foster the Zoffany gelding was noted doing plenty right through a Kilbeggan contest twelve days back. Ultimately it may have been that an extended three mile trip counted against him then, and coming back in distance here, with Jordan Gainford aboard for the first time, the six-year-old surely has a part to play come the finish. Wake The Giant, a beaten market-leader at Perth last time, is another contender.
