FormscanBy Mark Nunan - By Born To Sea out of a Pivotal mare, it’s no surprise that RAMIRO relishes soft ground and connections will be hoping that the forecast rain arrives over the weekend. His three wins have come over seven furlongs and a 4lb hike for beating the in-form Wee Pablo at Limerick looks fair. The 5-year-old might be vulnerable dropping back to six, but it will be more of a test if underfoot conditions ease. Pretty Boy Floyd won twice here at the backend and, having scored at Haydock on soft ground in May, is another who will be helped if the rain comes. Mickey The Steel had some good juvenile form and his trainer was amongst the winners this week, while Miss Molly T has to be respected on her close-up fifth in a premier handicap over 7f last time. Crystal Black will likely find this too sharp after winning a 9f maiden at Ballinrobe, while Verhoyen, who is engaged at Tipperary on Friday, can’t be discounted if turning out again quickly.
