Formscan By John O'Riordan - An all the way winner over course and distance last month, METHGAL can follow up. Finding plenty when pressed over a furlong out, the Pat Murphy-trained gelding kept on strongly to prevail by half-a-length. Value for a bit more than that margin, a subsequent 4lb rise seemed fair. Drawn wide again on this occasion, jockey Conor Cusack is likely to adopt similar forcing tactics on the four-year-old. Ferrari Desert hasn't been at her best in recent starts but returning to the all-weather and, dropping in trip could easily see the Mark Fahey-trained mare in a better light. Macadam's Rock has been somewhat disappointing of late but is seriously well handicapped on the best of his form.

Quotes

Quotes on Ferrari Desert (GB)

It was very good. She had a good run in the Curragh the last day and she backed that up today. Keithen gave her a great ride again, he got her to switch off. She can be a little bit temperamental. Our plan was to come down the middle and everything worked out down the inside!. To be fair to the lads (stalls handlers), the lads know her and she has to go in last. Keithen rides a bit of work for me and he knocked a tune out of her. My brother saw her in the sales, she was cheap enough.
