Formscan By John O'Riordan - Just touched off by a subsequent winner on his introduction at the Curragh, GLIONDAR(7) can go one better. Having run green at a crucial point of that race, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding stayed on late to get within a neck of the victor. Given that the latter horse is now rated 91, it will take a smart performance to deny the son of Romanised here. Saliba showed distinct promise when third on his debut at Gowran Park in May and had a valid excuse when disappointing next time. A reproduction of that earlier run would see him hold leading claims. Down Royal third Storzando didn't get the clearest of passages on that occasion so shouldn't be ruled out.
