FormscanBy Tom Weekes - TRUEBA has solid claims as a consistent performer in this grade and can win an open looking handicap despite a wide draw in 13. He was progressive in 2019, looks likely to figure prominently at this distance with today's rider again claiming 3lbs. Nobody can accuse connections of Gormanston of attempting to fool the handicapper but he could be potentially nicely treated if progressing further. Initially unraced when with trainer Ger Lyons, he showed why with three awful runs in maidens subsequently (two of which were in Claimers) but his latest effort at Dundalk in March offers hope for the future. That effort was on the all-weather so the handicapper has given him a chance from his initial turf rating of 52 (the fourth placed horse at Dundalk is rated 57) and while he needs to maintain some progression and might ideally prefer further, his dam is a half-sister to a French middle-distance Listed winner and he is open to more improvement. Mulzamm is a capable performer in this grade and should go well despite a wide enough draw in 11.
