Formscan By Michael Graham - The admirable CHARLIE LUCIANO could go in again after a break since mid-July. Noel Meade's charge proved tough to pass when winning at Downpatrick and Bellewstown over the summer before filling the runner-up berth in another Downpatrick contest. Neil Ryan takes 7lb off his back and that could be important as Charlie Luciano is closely matched with Gordon Elliott's Samui who sandwiched a victory in Tramore with runner-up spots at Tipperary and Galway. Luminous Light won a maiden hurdle at Cork in April and holds third-placed Calico on that run. He has been placed in a couple of Flat races since then and has plenty to offer.
