FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Fascino Rustico created a big splash when sold for 310,000 pounds in 2012 and he now has his first start on the racecourse proper for 1814 days. He did begin for the Daniels yard in County Galway, at the point-to-point at Bellharbour last February, and it’ll be interesting to see if he has anything left to offer now aged thirteen. That Milan gelding isn’t the only stable switcher as John Berry starts off with Eagle Roque, and he could go well under recent winning jockey Sarah Kavanagh. Philip Rothwell is two-handed with Fiveaftermidnight and Siberian Star, but for a selection last time out winner DANEGELD is marginally preferred to the likes of Ennemi Public, Glamorgan Duke, Castle Town House and Perry Owens.
