Diamondgeezer Luke hadn't won a race in 40 starts before scoring at Ballinrobe last month then followed up with an impressive victory at Bellewstown. He's up another 8lb but is in such good heart that a hat-trick isn't out of the question. ROUTES DELIGHT is also on a three-timer and the fact that she's only had seven starts over timber and is improving fast suggests she can score again. Royal Chief was well behind today's rival Marshim here in April but has done much better subsequently and was only headed on the line by Never Said That over slightly further at Tramore. Roadtotheisland had only shown moderate form before a comfortable victory at Sligo and there's more to come while Rory's Brother is on a much lower mark than over fences.
