FormscanBy John O'Riordan - This looks a nice opportunity for the Gavin Cromwell trained LUKER'S TIPPLE to open his account. Runner-up on more than one occasion for his previous yard, the four-year-old shaped with plenty of promise on his stable debut when sixth in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel last month. Back in these calmer waters, he looks to have strong claims and, with an official rating of 118, he certainly sets a fair standard. The John McConnell trained Black Gem stepped up on his hurdling debut to reach the frame at Kilbeggan and should be capable of progressing further. Similar comments apply to recent Gowran Park fifth Tropical Twist.
