LUCKY AT LAST had been running well over fences before an outing on the flat at Galway last week and has some fair form over timber though he would prefer some give in the ground. He generally strikes top form at this time of the year and can get back to winning ways. Thyne For Deploy landed a couple of races in the UK in the spring before a poor run at Cork in May though the very fast ground wouldn't have aided his cause and he can do better. Farmaland hasn't had much racing for his age and was having his first start since October when a good third behind Ainama at Cork on Sunday. Island Myth has had his last four starts at Galway but is 10lbs higher than when scoring at The Festival a year ago and C&D winner Dreadnot may prove more of a threat.
