FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Lost Oscar has long since been on the horses to watch list and it’ll be fascinating to see if she can make the final cut from her position as second reserve. She’s owned by J P McManus and he has Dont Kick Nor Bite and Spruced Up also in the line-up. Lost Oscar comes from the in-form Peter Fahey outfit, but assuming she doesn’t get in IRREGULARHEARTBEAT gets the nod. On his first time aboard Denis O’Regan conjured some terrific leaps from the selection, when she triumphed at Kilbeggan recently. She’s off a seven pound higher mark now and perhaps she won’t be able to boss things from the front. However a mare like this, with a bit of age on her side, is one to very much respect after getting into the winning groove.
