Having finished runner-up twice in this sphere last year, CHARLIE LUCIANO gets the verdict to go one better arriving on the back of a spin on the level at Dundalk early last month. Starman was a very disappointing favourite at Clonmel last month, but he may well get back on track here, with Up And Out and He Picked Us another couple to consider.
