FormscanBy Alan Magee - HIBERNIA OPPOSITUS was well-backed on debut at Dundalk back in March and showed the confidence wasn’t misplaced when finishing strongly over a mile to beat all bar Agatino. It’s obviously of some concern that the Joseph O’Brien-trained gelding has not run since but this extra quarter mile should suit the son of Australia. Touching Clouds also caught the eye on debut over a mile this spring when runner-up at Gowran Park and probably found the soft ground against her subsequently at Galway. Smooth Tom is more experienced and probably put up a career best effort when second in a Galway handicap last time, while Harley Street is a newcomer of obvious interest being a Galileo brother to three previous winners.
