Smart winner at 17f over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, opened his account on the level in stylish fashion in 13-runner maiden at Tramore (16f, good, 8/15) 17 days ago, comfortably. Open to further improvement.

13/2

Fairly useful gelding. 35/10, 9½ lengths last of 6 to Mister Saint Paul in Prix La Force at Longchamp (9f, soft) 17 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Jean-Claude Rouget and has been gelded since last seen. Market support should be noted.

Lust^t⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 94| D

11/4

Useful gelding. 9/1, shaped as if better for the run after 9 months off when seventh of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 53 days ago, not unduly punished. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 1/3210-7

Forecasts

Warrior Brave (11/8), Lust (11/4), Quar Shamar (10/3), Caracal (13/2), Cristal Clere (7/1), Filey Bay (12/1), Drop The Anchor (66/1)

Cases can be made for most of these, but preference is for LUST, who shaped as if better for the run after 9 months off at Fairyhouse in July and Ger Lyons' charge is fancied to notch a fifth career success. Second choice is Warrior Brave, who bounced back to form to pick up his third win of a productive campaign at Naas just under 6 weeks ago. Filey Bay and Quar Shamar can do battle for third spot.
