Formscan By Alan Magee - TAKE HEART won three times for Johnny Murtagh to earn a career high rating of 99 and has indicated further success is imminent off his current mark since joining Stephen Thorne. The Dark Angel gelding has twice come up against the progressive Genoah and went close over 1m4f last time with Loyal Touch five lengths behind in fourth. The Real Screamer justified strong support when overcoming a six-month absence to record a third course and distance win a fortnight ago with Walhaan four lengths behind in fourth, while Gotta Catch’em All was a model of consistency last year but remains a maiden after 21 starts.
