FormscanBy Alan Magee - EL TESORO came up against Little Big Bear on debut in May and was absent for five months before heavily backed in the Curragh maiden won by another impressive Ballydoyle juvenile in Hispanic. The Donnacha O’Brien-trained colt is now fitted with cheek pieces and Paddy Harnett claims 7lb switching to a modest handicap after gaining experience of this surface under a fortnight ago. There is little to choose between the selection and Not Too Real Bad on running at the Curragh and Tom Mullins’ charge also has form that closely ties in with Zaza Zut here last Wednesday. Hilltop’s Bear probably ran his best race when going close at this venue back in July and should be suited by these conditions after finding no extra in the closing stages on his latest two soft ground outings.
