Thu 20th Aug

Formscan By John O'Riordan - PIAZZA SAN MARCO can make a winning return here before stepping back into Group One company. A Galway maiden winner as a juvenile, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt was far from disgraced in two subsequent runs in group races. Off the track since last October, the St Mark's Basilica colt is well entered up at the highest level in the coming weeks. In the absence of some higher profile stablemates, the three-year-old can prove an able deputy. Wyman has looked a thorough stayer in both wins this season so stepping up in trip could see the Jessica Harrington-trained colt improve further. Lightly raced Abbotsford is a gelding of huge potential and he has to be a contender for trainer Dermot Weld.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Madbadanddangerous (IRE)

He’s a nice horse. The ground was a help, it was easy ground which it was in the north the last day,. I said to Colin to try and ride him the same as Gavin (Ryan) did the last day, which worked out quite well, and he said it was spot on. He said he’d go further and two miles wouldn’t be a problem. We could maybe head for the Irish Cesarewitch or something like that, I don’t know if a three-year-old could win the Cesarewitch. Maybe he might. It’s worth a lot of money so we’ll go there. I would have kept him for Friday but he wasn’t going to get in. It was a good performance with the weight and we had the man of the moment. We’ll paddle on with the Flat for the moment. I’d say he’d jump hurdles, he’s a big horse, but we’ll see how far we can get on the Flat first. I’m delighted for Seamus (Hunt), unfortunately he doesn’t move around that much anymore but he gets a great kick out of watching them on the telly as well. He’ll be thrilled.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Wyman (IRE)

He quickened up really well. He's very lazy but he's only learning to race now. The further he goes the better he'll be. He'll be a lovely horse next year. We'll go from here to a Listed race, probably back here. Whether we run him again then this year or keep him for next year, I'm not sure. He could end up being a mile-and-six horse, two-mile horse.
