FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SIR ANTONINO is risky but is given another chance to build on the potential shown when runner-up in two good maidens last year. He was second to the subsequent Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up at the Curragh and chased home the Dee Stakes winner at Leopardstown. He was a little disappointing on his seasonal return and then bombed out altogether in a premier handicap at Navan last time. It’s still hard to get away from his early form in this weak maiden and maybe blinkers will do the trick. Joseph O’Brien also runs the well-bred Olympus who didn’t show much on debut at Cork in April. The Vik ran well before tiring in the final furlong over course and distance last month and can build on that. Cara Susanna’s stable continues to struggle for form but the Tamayuz half-sister to three Group winners is, nevertheless, the most interesting of the newcomers.
