FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Sherpa begins for Donnacha O'Brien, having won for the trainer's father, Aidan, at Roscommon last August. This fellow is a home-bred by Aidan and Annemarie's Whisperview Trading Ltd, and he was ridden to his maiden victory by the now retired champion jockey, and current rookie trainer. Apparently Sherpa had been ear-marked for the Derrinstown Derby Trial at Leopardstown on Tuesday but comes here instead. The son of Zoffany could be interesting. A rating of 90 though, indicates he has something to find. With Seamie Heffernan up and the Ballydoyle horses in cracking order, 106-rated MYTHICAL might be the safest option. Jessica Harrington's string is in similarly good nick, so Gold Maze may run better than the likely starting price about the twice raced maiden. Joseph O'Brien's pair, Choice Of Mine (cheek-pieces tried) and Crossfirehurricane are hardly out of it either.
