Formscan By Michael Graham - MCTENETT can progress from an opening fourth in a Sligo sprint. This Starspangledbanner colt put in plenty of good late work to get up for fourth close home this month. Byzantine Empress has been placed twice, and has stall one and Seamie Heffernan's assistance. A good run is more than probable. Smart Impression outran her 150/1 odds when mid-division in a Group 3 over course and distance in May. Her subsequent fourth in Dundalk after a break was a fair effort and the third home has since delivered. Bergamasco was beaten a fair way into fourth over further at Roscommon in June, however, the winner of that race is very smart and swept home by six lengths. There was merit in Bergamasco's performance. Darren Bunyan's newcomer Valentino Express is worth keeping an eye on in the market.
For two years old only, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and which had been purchased as yearlings or as two year olds at Public Auction under the hammer after 1st July, 2022 for #60,000 or less at a designated or specified sale
