FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Galway Hurdle winner NURBURGRING can land another valuable handicap for trainer Joseph O'Brien. The four-year-old, who went up to a mark of 150 after winning that summer feature, looks nicely treated back on the level. Having caught the eye staying on late over a shorter trip at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend, the gelding should be primed for this assignment. The Gavin Cromwell-trained Sixandahalf is well handicapped under a 7lb penalty following her win at Newmarket last month. A former bumper winner, the filly should appreciate stepping up beyond two-miles for the first time on the Flat. Despite a very wide draw, Dawn Rising has to have claims of improving on his third placed finish from last year.
