FormscanBy Alan Magee - VIRTUAL HUG has dropped down to what appears a competitive mark. The Conor O’Dwyer-trained gelding won a juvenile maiden hurdle last year and made a bright reappearance when staying on over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park this summer. He’s been soundly beaten twice since over hurdles but is given another chance back on the Flat. Forgetmenotblue has been consistent at a variety of trips this year including over this distance at Down Royal last time. Bringsty beat Mosaaheb in a claimer on the beach at Laytown and the latter has since joined Shark Hanlon, while Gemini Man needs to settle better to have a chance at this trip.
