FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having run respectably when mid division on his handicap debut at Galway last time, PAHLAVI should appreciate reverting to maiden company in this ordinary affair. The Shark Hanlon-trained gelding had been knocking on the door in stronger races than this prior to his latest outing at the festival. Mount Anglesby is a lightly raced five-year-old with further scope for improvement over hurdles. Making his first start for the Richard O'Brien stable here, the Sholokhov gelding is worth a second glance in the betting market. Time For Tea arguably needs to improve a bit in order to win a race of this nature but the fact connections have yet to make the switch to handicaps suggest that they must feel the mare is capable of winning her maiden.
