Going - Good, good to yielding in places. Fine

Formscan By Mark Nunan - ILLTAKEHIMMYSELF (1) has been knocking on the door in handicaps and can get a turn here, despite the burden of top weight. Touched off over 3m at Punchesstown in May, he was then second over this trip at Listowel before another solid effort at Limerick. He’s gone up 7lb for those placed efforts, but crucially remains in this 0-100 grade. Diamond Secret stayed on well from off the pace when fifth on handicap debut over 2m at Kilbeggan. He’s bred to appreciate this trip and can improve past I Feel Fine, who was a place in front of him last time. Leo Messy was well backed when unplaced on handicap debut at Sligo on Sunday, and may be capable of better. %0A%0A%0A
