FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Nice to see Grade One winning novice hurdler Felix Desjy make his Flat debut, 430 days since his last appearance in public. The chestnut obviously has the potential to be a huge player here under Jamie Codd, whilst Derek O’Connor’s presence on Pike County is also noted. Though not on the level of Felix Desjy, that Baltic King gelding is a useful National Hunt type and he wouldn’t appear to be short of ‘toe’. For a selection RASIYM is tentatively chosen to make race fitness count. At Limerick on June 17th he finished runner-up behind subsequent winning handicap hurdler Shanroe. Fourth on the occasion, Thosedaysaregone, is in opposition again, and perhaps Rasiym can confirm placings at this longer trip. Thosedaysaregone re-opposes on better terms with Philip Byrnes’ seven pound claim, and he looks sure to be there or thereabouts.
