FormscanBy Mark Nunan - HEY JOHNNY won on his third career outing at Ballinrobe in May before running respectably in a hot winners’ contest at Galway. It appeared that waiting tactics were rather overdone when he returned to Ballinrobe last time and the half-brother to Sir Gerhard has the ability to go close here. Coole Og commands obvious respect coming from the champion trainer’s yard but the Fame And Glory mare had to work hard for her debut success at Tramore and will need to have improved again. Misty’s Gift had a subsequent winner back in third when scoring over a longer trip at Cork and is another leading player but has to concede 16lb to Suain Na Draoicht who was well-fancied when showing promise at Down Royal and could be a danger to all.
