FormscanBy Alan Magee - COLTOR ran just three times on the Flat last year winning a 1m3f maiden at Killarney and there could be plenty of scope in his initial mark on the Flat considering he’s subsequently done well over hurdles and the step up in trip may well suit. The Dermot Weld-trained gelding won an 18-runner maiden hurdle at Naas on testing ground and was far from disgraced when fifth to Jeff Kidder in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Brazos won the Cesarewitch when run at Navan in 2018 and was a highly creditable fourth to Cape Gentleman in the latest renewal here last October. He won a maiden hurdle on heavy ground at Navan earlier this year and rates an obvious threat. Dalton Highway won this race two year’s ago off a mark of 74 but has a lot more to do now, while Rock De Baune, Pin Your Hopes and Weather Alert are others to consider.
