FormscanBy Donal Murphy - THE MAN'S ROOM should appreciate this step-up in trip. He caught the eye when finishing strongly over two-miles at Limerick in May, ultimately having to settle for the runner-up berth. Second and third to Net Boy at Ballinrobe, Kamikaz Du Plessis and Noticebox renew rivalry. The Gordon Elliott-trained former went down by just half-a-length at the Co Mayo circuit, and with that experience under his belt it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Rated 116 and narrowly beaten on recent starts, Dream Diamond is of definite interest, while Following Orders and the Willie Mullins-trained Quarry Tiepy are others that warrant respect. Declared to run at Tipperary on Thursday, Leave In Secret is a doubtful starter.
