Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - In the main we’re dealing with horses returning off lengthy enough absences, and hopefully the market will be revealing with regard to these. Big Gossey and ECCLESIASTICAL are the ones with race fitness on side. Both have something to recommend them, Big Gossey already a Curragh scorer, whilst champion jockey Colin Keane takes the reins on Ecclesiastical. Twice victorious over five furlongs, Ecclesiastical has a Dundalk success under his belt, but he’s shown that he can handle an easy surface before. Off a mark of 84 and with thirteen runs to his name, there may well be more to come from the selection yet.
