FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - GENERAL MORIVIERE has been a beaten market-leader more than once now, but one would have thought that it will be only a matter of time before he’s rewarded for his consistency. Shane Broderick’s charge is back in action relatively quickly after another near miss, when a close up third at Navan nine days ago. General Moriviere has never returned to the track so soon in his career to date. It could be a good move though, as with an apparently improving five-year-old such as this, it must be difficult to resist the temptation to go again when an opportunity presents itself, and the horse is clearly on good terms with himself. Tom McGreevy, The Abbey, The Declaimer, Go Gill Go and Amlad are pretty readily identified as dangers. We haven’t seen Romella since June. She won at Clonmel on that summer afternoon and can be a factor if fully tuned up for this assignment. Downthecellar would obviously be a big player if making the line-up from his position as third reserve.
