Downpatrick
Mon 25th Aug

Formscan By Michael Graham - WING BACK landed a gamble over course and distance just over a fortnight ago and has prospects of following up off 8lb higher. He jumped notably well and won by almost five lengths, so merits the hike. Crucially, he races in the same grade again. The Truant arrives in form courtesy of a victory in a staying handicap on the Flat in Tramore and has plenty of experience over flights to call upon. A 10lb rise for winning in Wexford appeared to catch out Menas Miracle on her next visit to that track when she finished fourth. She is one of the more likely contenders here, though. Paddy Hanlon takes 7lb off Pahlavi's back which gives him a chance.
