Formscan By Gary Carson - SORRENTINO can gain a deserved win under Flat rules. The New Bay gelding has been running in some hot enough amateur events this year, finishing runner-up twice. He was a solid enough fourth on his most recent outing at Listowel behind a smart sort in Lark In The Mornin and a similar effort should be enough to get the job done now. Dream On Baby looks like an obvious danger in the two-miler. Emmet Mullins’ smart hurdler has been placed on both her runs in Flat maidens and is a consistent sort. Young Churchill has a bit to find off his mark of 71 but could be place material.
