FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - DREAL DEAL goes from strength to strength and he can make it five-in-a-row, despite the fact that he drops back to two miles. That’s hardly much of a worry given the pace that the Arvico gelding showed when winning a couple of races on the level during this sequence, including at this venue. He’s managed to back up quickly before as well and he is officially 23lbs 'well-in'. Maxine O’Sullivan, who rightly set race watchers abuzz with her ride on Dreal Deal at Punchestown on Wednesday, is aboard again. The local lady rider got some lovely leaps from Ronan McNally’s charge, and her supreme confidence in the five-year-old was more than justified. It ought to be more of the same here. Charlie Siringo might chase home.
