FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Good to see evidence of former Fergal Birrane inmate Rock On Dandy enjoying his retirement on social media recently, and the Mayo handler is two-handed here as Boasty goes under Derby winning jockey Emmet McNamara, and Vormir competes with Luke McAteer up. Joseph O’Brien also tries his hand on the double, with Merroir (a former Ray Cody runner and 6th here on Wednesday) and Herculaneum doing battle from his Piltown string. Evening Verse is another stable switcher as she begins for Hilary McLoughlin, having up until now represented Paul Webber. For a selection though the bang-in-form CHATEAU MUSAR is taken to deliver again, and that would bring his score to three wins from four outings. The Morpheus gelding is obviously climbing in the weights but confidence is high and he’ll surely be there or thereabouts. Several others would seem poised to make an impression also, including Ballycaines, a close runner-up a fortnight back. Third reserve Storm Elza won here on Wednesday.
