Formscan By Gary Carson - COMHGHAIRDEAS may have been no match for G Force on his return at Naas last month but it was still a solid run against a horse that is a smart performer on his day. Left on the same mark here he has to have a big shout of going one better dropped in grade. Luzum was awarded a maiden recently having finished second at Cork in late March after it transpired that the winner had a prohibited substance in their system. He ran a decent enough race since to finish fourth at Navan since and it will be interesting to see how he fares off a mark of 85 on his handicap debut. Bluesbreaker is a consistent sort and may be one for each-way punters.
