Formscan By Alan Magee - MALBAY MADNESS landed a gamble for Eddie Linehan in a Killarney nursery last year and made a bright start for current connections when beating all bar hot favourite Canute in a valuable handicap at Navan a fortnight ago. The selection is bred to appreciate this step up in trip and, with Siobhan Rutledge’s claim, should make a bold bid from 2lb out of the handicap proper. Ibrahimovic is not easy for the handicapper to assess and his third to Waipiro at Newmarket was given a timely boost by the winner at Royal Ascot. Tower Of London has no stamina concerns having won the Listed King George V Cup at Leopardstown, while Colin Keane is an interesting booking on stablemate Hippodrome. Jim Bolger has won this feature four times in the past decade and Young Ireland should give a good account.
