FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Noel Meade trained CHARLIE LUCIANO reverts to the flat off a very appealing mark having won two of his last three starts over hurdles. Although unable to exploit a similar rating at Leopardstown in June, the four-year-old has arguably improved in the interim. Colin Keane will no doubt try to make this a proper test of stamina on a gelding who finds plenty for pressure. Recent course and distance winner Wild Shot hasn't been too harshly treated off just a 5lb higher mark, so the John McConnell trained gelding must be a real threat. Barometer, last year's winner, hasn't been in the same form of late but now that his stable have turned the corner, the eight-year-old has to be considered in his repeat bid.

An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 47-65
