Formscan By Gary Carson - Not a strong maiden hurdle and AUTOPORTRAIT should prove hard to beat after a couple of solid placed efforts. The French import bumped into a nice looking sort in Goraibhmaithagat on his Irish debut in Navan and it also looked a hot contest in which he was third to Laafi in Limerick. He takes a big jump up in trip but it looks like a drop in class. The Story So Far sets the standard off his mark of 113. He ran well when chasing home Doitforjane in handicap company at Limerick. Masterboy Davis has been disappointing but might get closer in this company.

Quotes

Quotes on The Story So Far (IRE)

The owners are local to me in Ballingarry so it is great for them,. The horse hit a flat spot turning in and that happened to him in Navan too before staying on. He is an out-and-out three-miler so it was a bonus to win a bumper. He is a very nice horse, we bought him as a foal and he'll probably go jumping a hurdle now.
