FormscanBy Mark Nunan - McPHERSON holds entries in the Derby and Irish Derby and should appreciate the step up to ten furlongs. The Golden Horn colt was fourth to Derby favourite High Definition over a mile on debut at the Curragh last year before finishing runner-up over the same trip at Gowran. HMS Seahorse has been a beaten favourite in all three starts over a mile this season but wasn’t beaten far last time in a competitive handicap at Naas. His full-brother Armory was a Group Three winner over this distance last season and the longer trip certainly looks worth a try. Very expensive yearling Rekero has been scratched a couple of times due to soft ground and it’ll be interesting to see how he fares on debut and Castletownbere is from a yard whose newcomers are always worthy of consideration.%0A
