FormscanBy Mark Nunan - METAPHORICAL was getting the message late on at Gowran and, even though dropping to 6f may not be ideal, he can get off the mark at the third time of asking. The horse a place in front of him last time out won a Group 3 subsequently so it was a fair effort from the No Nay Never colt. Giuliana has a rating of 98 after running on for third in a Group race at the Curragh and looks an obvious danger. Mickey The Steel went close against a useful filly at Navan, and he should go well again along with course and distance runner-up Elenora and Stylistic Approach who battled gamely when just touched off last time.
