Formscan By John O'Riordan - After shedding his maiden tag at Limerick, the Johnny Murtagh-trained LORD AUS(4) gets the vote. A staying on third at Down Royal on his previous start, the son of Australia improved for the step up in trip when scoring readily at the Munster track. Nicely treated by conditions and with the potential for further improvement now he is asked to race over an additional furlong, it would be no surprise to see him double up. Dundalk maiden winner Handshake is respected, given the form was boosted when the runner-up won at Roscommon three weeks ago. Curragh winner Wyman needed every yard of the ten-furlongs on that occasion so should benefit from going further here.
