FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Owner Ray Grehan recently enjoyed a Clonmel bumper success with the Willie Mullins-trained Zuma Rock, and another winner could emerge from Closutton sporting the maroon and white silks in the shape of BABY ZEUS. This Footstepsinthesand gelding begins for Mullins here, and a man who knows the four-year-old well from his time with Ger Lyons, Colin Keane, has been booked for the spin. The heavy going is a bit of an unknown for the selection, and perhaps he’ll be helped by the addition of a tongue-strap. The Joseph O’Brien team of three – Dance Jupiter, Dancing Approach and Bright Idea – seem sure to make an impression. Last time out scorers, Tejano and Aesop, need to be respected. Jessica Harrington trains Aesop, and her other contender, Lobo Rojo, shouldn’t be discounted too readily either.
