FormscanBy Alan Magee - EUROTIEP is progressing nicely and this looks a good opportunity to add to his tally. The seven-year-old won a Punchestown bumper before Christmas and Aubrey McMahon was again in the saddle when landing a Thurles maiden hurdle by all of 19 lengths from Stranger Danger last time. He has the beating of Breakeven on a line through that runner-up, while Limerick maiden winner Gevrey has it all to do at the weights but should appreciate the drop back to two miles. Any market move for Colmanstown Lad would be interesting.
