FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Understandably a twenty raced maiden is not going to appeal to everyone but IAMASTARTOO could be worth another chance. For this sort of level the Well Chosen mare ran into a nice type when beaten by the J P McManus-owned and Madden trained and ridden Dawsons Cottage, at this track and trip 18 days ago. She’s been penalised two pounds for that. She should be all the sharper though, seeing as that was her first appearance in 257 days. Of the rest the likes of handicap first-timers Abyssinian and Streets Of Doyen could be dangerous. Kingdom Brunel was due to make his debut for Terence O’Brien at Leopardstown recently. He was unruly at the start and had to be withdrawn then. The Robert Ogden-bred, a brother to Group One racemare, Amazing Maria, would be interesting if attracting market support.
