FormscanBy Michael Graham - STRATUM is some horse for connections with earnings of over €500,000. He can bank another first prize in this staying test. On his last appearance, he got up close home to take the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. It was in October that he last ran over hurdles and he posted a six-length success over 2m7f. He looks the one to beat in this small field. Ronald Pump carries a lofty rating of 154 over hurdles. He has been steeplechasing since March and it was only last Wednesday that he came in seventh in the Galway Plate. He is more than decent in both disciplines and should enjoy this lesser company having been extensively campaigned in Grade 1 company over flights. The question is whether last week's exertions have taken their toll. The Bosses Oscar got back to winning ways in Limerick beating stablemate Dallas Des Pictons. Streets Of Doyen isn't out of it on his return to hurdling.
