FormscanBy Mark Nunan - PROTAGONIST may be able to complete a hat-trick despite having topweight to carry after having gone up 16lbs in the ratings. He appeared to win with a bit up his sleeve at both Gowran and Fairyhouse having joined his present trainer from Jamie Osborne. Baby Zeus beat King Edward VII runner-up Arthur’s Kingdom in a Killarney maiden last year, and the full-brother to useful dual purpose performer Lagostovegas can do well over middle-distances this term.%0ACurragh maiden winner Delphi might be fairly treated and is expected to be suited by this step-up in trip, while best of the lightweights might be Crassus, third to a subsequent Group winner in a course maiden last term and not beaten far in his comeback run at Roscommon.%0A
