FormscanBy Alan Magee - GAELIC ARC made most when landing a valuable 2m1f handicap at Killarney in July and the front-runner only gave best in the closing stages when runner-up to Shecouldbeanything in a 2m4f Grade 3 novice at Tipperary. He should be suited by this drop in trip after a below par effort over 2m4f at Cork last weekend. The Big Chap found Grade 2 company too hot at Down Royal last time but previously had Railway Hurricane nearly six lengths back in third when scoring over 2m3f at Limerick. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding can’t be lightly discounted having made a mistake two out on that occasion and now enjoys a 7lb swing in the weights.
