FormscanBy Michael Graham - MONAASIB ran a cracker in what looked a more than decent maiden over course and distance earlier in the month, and can prevail. He travelled smoothly into contention and held every chance coming to the final furlong. He was outgunned by the winner who is thought of as stakes class, so there was plenty of merit in his performance. Interestingly, Monaasib holds an entry in the Group 1 National Stakes. Magnanimous put in a good front-running effort at Limerick before finishing in the runner-up berth behind a flashy winner. Blinkers go on Hyde Park Barracks after he drifted right at the business end of a maiden in Dundalk last weekend. He was beaten a neck after that, so if the blinkers do the trick he has the ability to get involved. Going Global was nearest at the finish in fourth at Limerick last month, and has claims granted normal improvement. Newcomers Lay It Out, Anjalawi and Dawn Tapper must be monitored in the market representing strong stables.
