Formscan By John O'Riordan - Third in what was arguably a stronger contest at the Curragh last time, THOR'S HAMMER holds leading claims for trainer Johnny Murtagh. A winner at Killarney on his penultimate outing, the colt kept on well to take minor honours. Well drawn in stall 2, the son of Night Of Thunder can gain a prominent early position which is an advantage around here. Limerick maiden winner September Leaves hasn't been seen to best effect in two tactical races subsequently. Fitted with first-time blinkers here, the Jessica Harrington trained filly can make her presence felt for her in-form stable. Monasterboice, who seemed to appreciate the additional furlong when opening his account at Killarney last time, should enjoy this test of stamina.
