FormscanBy John O'Riordan - DYLAN LOMBARDY who finished runner-up to Port Rashid over course and distance last month may be able to turn the tables. With both horses having been reassessed following that race, they actually meet on similar terms here but the Eoin McCarthy trained gelding has the benefit of a more experienced rider on this occasion. Naas winner Flashthelights returned to something like his best when third at Clonmel recently. He too, has a more senior rider taking over in the saddle so should again be very competitive. Warm In Gorey has hinted that he is good enough to win one of these but has thus far failed to get his head in front. It is surely just a matter of time before the Philip Rothwell trained gelding records a first success.
