FormscanBy Mark Nunan - LUSIS NATUREA has been running well under both codes in recent weeks and may go one better than when just failing to reel in British Art at Downpatrick last time. He was unfortunate to bump into a well-handicapped horse in Mig Des Taillons at Down Royal in August and, off a 2lb higher mark than for his last run, should go well again for Rachael Blackmore. Jazz Ranger gained his first win for over four years when scoring at Tramore but wouldn’t be a prime candidate to follow up, and Ballinrobe winner Breezy Bell, subsequently a fair fourth at Sligo, may pose a greater threat in a first-time tongue-tie. Runner-up in three of his last five handicaps, Ashton Court should give a good account of himself again while Presenting Dylan is interesting on his first start for Gordon Elliott, but two miles around here is likely to be on the sharp side for him.
