LOST BOOK, a winner over 2m1f here in May, would almost certainly have doubled her winning tally at Galway but for falling at the last. She's been raised 3lb but Barry Geraghty has been booked and compensation awaits. I C Gold followed a victory between the flags by scoring at Downpatrick then just failed to reel in Whatever It Takes over this course and distance from a 9lb higher mark. She's progressing nicely and should get into the frame. Steel King has to be regarded as a threat as he's improving fast as he showed when scoring over 2m1f here last month while Much Wants More looks to be going places after a very convincing maiden success at Tipperary.
