FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The James Barrett-trained MIGHTY DAY has shaped well enough on both starts to date to suggest he can make it third time lucky. Fifth on his racecourse debut at Galway earlier in the month, the U S Navy Flag colt then backed that up with another solid effort at Gowran Park last time. Granted normal improvement from those initial runs, he should be hard to beat in this grade. Baltray Lady, who finished behind the selection at Galway on debut, improved to finish runner-up at Roscommon on her second outing. However, at her claiming price, she is worse off at the weights with the Barrett colt now. Dr Ali needs to improve on what he has shown to date but trainer Ger Lyons places his horses extremely well in these races so the gelding has to be respected.
