FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Henry de Bromhead was delighted to get owners, the Maughans, off the mark, when INGLEBY MACKENZIE scored at Clonmel last week. The Sixties Icon gelding goes here with a mandatory five pound penalty, and as he’s actually been put up by six, he’s a pound ‘well in’ for this competitive looking heat. Whatever the fate of Ingleby Mackenzie, Henry de Bromhead is strong by weight of numbers as he’s also got Zarkareva, Email Rose and Our Dougal in the mix. J P McManus’ pair, Steer Clear and Calthor, enter the equation, as do the likes of Great Khan and Batcio. One of the two mares, Flirting Lesa, has a squeak too.
