FormscanBy Michael Graham - In theory there shouldn't be much between HENSON, Duchess Andorra and Hannah's Magic as 3lbs separates them on official ratings. The latter two receive the 5lbs fillies allowance from Henson which makes things trickier for him, but he might be up to the task. David Marnane's colt has never been worse than fourth in his seven runs and in fact he has been placed five times. He was second at Galway in a rough race where he was squeezed for room and checked yet he kept on to be beaten by two lengths. Connor King is a new jockey for him and perhaps he will find the key. Duchess Andorra has been runner-up four times in-a-row and has run into good horses like Beyond Brilliance and Brooch (who runs in the Listed race at 6.40). She may find one too good again. Hannah's Magic is another with a string of placed efforts. She was beaten further in her last two runs though. Lucent Dream should run a good race. On the back of his promising debut at Bellewstown he was sent off favourite for a Leopardstown maiden where he was beaten six lengths into fifth by Illusive (who runs in the next race off 82). We may not have seen the best of him yet. Thomas Wedgwood has been beaten a fair way in his two runs. but represents the powerful O'Brien yard and cannot be ruled out in this company.
