FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Connections of Mr Bercow would likely welcome a drop of rain after deeming the ground safe enough to let him take his chance at Limerick last week. The Insatiable gelding gained a hard fought success when a well-backed favourite on that occasion, and he’d be very much respected if given the opportunity to bid for a quick follow-up. As previous Tramore scorers Colonel Lesley and Brosna Rocco enter the equation. It’s NATURAL BREEZE that is awarded the vote though. The chestnut isn’t difficult to find on the back of his Clonmel win. Upped in trip and on better going, it could be all to the benefit of the Shirocco gelding. He beat a subsequent winner at Powerstown Park, in the shape of Definiteadare, and there’s more in the locker for Natural Breeze, you’d have to think.
