THE LUTE PLAYER left his debut form well behind after 14 months off when third at Navan 2 weeks ago. He was still rough around the edges that day so further improvement is likely, and he could be useful. Gambe Veloci shaped encouragingly when runner-up at Leopardstown on debut and is feared most ahead of Pollanassa, who also made a promising start when fourth at Tipperary.
