Gowran Park
Sat 25th Jul

Formscan By Michael Graham - SUMMER IS TOMORROW (4) has been beaten by a neck and by a head into second in his last couple of races and could get his reward here. It was over this sort of trip that he strongly pressed the winner to the line in a good handicap at the Curragh, and it was over slightly further that he was caught in the final strides at Navan. Benevento was a Listed winner in Britain and holds a three-figure rating on his Irish debut for Robson De Aguiar. He merits respect on this step up in trip. Spicy Margarita brings experience to the fray, while Leopold The First got a big hike for finishing second at Gowran Park which makes life tough.
