FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SON OF HYPNOS has won on the Flat and over hurdles at Galway and can go well again on his latest visit to Ballybrit. The Morpheus gelding handled heavy ground when winning over this trip here a year ago and Wesley Joyce’s 7lb claim will come in handy on the well-drawn 4-year-old. Pita Pinta is 3lb well-in under her mandatory penalty after winning in good style over 10f at Navan on Wednesday. This deep ground is what she wants and the daughter of Sir Percy gives the impression that she’ll stay this trip. Anner Castle is up 6lb after winning his maiden at the Curragh and he’s open to more improvement while Sequoiaspirit was unlucky when chasing a four-timer at Naas and going back up in trip will help him. Dublin Journal went down by only half a length at Leopardstown on Saturday and has to enter calculations as well. %0A%0A
