FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having been successful off a similar break in the past, GENUINE ARTICLE can make a winning reappearance. Lightly raced for previous connections, the five-year-old has shaped with promise on more than one occasion since joining Gerry Keane. Third over course and distance on his final start last season, the gelding remains open to further improvement. Merisi Diamond, who looked to be coming to hand when fourth at Limerick last month, shouldn't be far away. Although versatile when it comes to trip, this appears to be his optimum distance. Pinar Del Rio is entitled to be sharper for his recent narrow defeat at Naas.
