FormscanBy Michael Graham - MASSAMAN has had some year to date with three victories clocked in addition to placed efforts in the Cork Derby and at Leopardstown. He is proven over further and will be coming home up the hill stronger than most. Andreas Vesalius is interesting up in trip. His sire has a decent record with progeny over seven furlongs plus and this three-year-old gelding has shaped as though there is a good race in him in a runner-up finish at Naas this summer. Pearle D'or is unexposed as this is his handicap debut on his third start. There is more to come from this Naas maiden winner. Stall one is a bonus for prominent racer Lord Dudley. He has been keeping good company and won over this trip at Cork in May. Hale Bopp is another to consider.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (100 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
