FormscanBy Michael Graham - EIGHTY EIGHT ran a satisfactory race in third in the 'Red God' Handicap over CD in August and appeals dropping in grade. Furthermore, the handicapper has eased him by 1lb. He could double his career total. The Lute Player is very much unexposed. He got off the mark at the fourth time of asking in a Gowran Park maiden and now enters handicap company off a mark of 81. That Gowran Park victory was boosted when the third came out and landed a maiden at Listowel on Tuesday. He is feared up in trip for Aidan O'Brien. Alaroos was a comfortable winner of a fillies' handicap over 1m4f in Tramore last month. Her runner-up berth here in October last year confirms that she handles the surface. She is one to note. The Lute Player's stablemate, Fleet Commander, is another handicap debutant with a chance.
