Greater scope to improve can see Formentera prevail

We’re very light on runners this weekend but that’s not unusual for us so close to Cheltenham. Being just seven or eight days out from the Festival, we mightn’t be too busy at the tracks, but we’ll be flat out on the gallops.

We have three runners in just two races today at Navan. In the four-year-old hurdle we run Fenta Des Obeaux and Formentera. Paul has gone for the former, but she has been a bit disappointing, you would have to say, and the form of the Punchestown race in which she finished fourth to Carlo Biraghi hasn’t worked out all that well. She’ll have to improve to win.
