FormscanBy Michael Graham - DAY DREAMIN' showed much more ability when fourth over a similar trip at Killarney and looks worth a bet. She is on the same mark of 59, but Gavin Ryan has been booked to take 5lbs off her back for this test. She won't be lacking in any assistance from the saddle from her in-form jockey. Blackstone Cliff was hampered at Down Royal but kept on for fifth, beaten four lengths. That race was over an extended 10 furlongs, so he is interesting at this new distance. Back surgery appears to have worked the oracle on Oromo who began his season in grand style in June with a pair of handicap victories at Fairyhouse on decent ground. He wasn't at his best on rain-softened ground at the Curragh last month, but it could be a different story on this better ground. Happy Company, placed in his last two starts, ought to give his backers a good run for their money.
