Verdict

LUZUM was subsequently awarded a maiden race here in March having passed the post in second. Though a beaten favourite next time, Dermot Weld’s charge may prove good enough on his handicap debut. Bluesbreaker was placed at Navan on his latest start when finishing in front of Dandyman Port and Aspen Belle and can race off the same mark today. The latter has since gone close at the same track but Comhghairdeas was beaten a long way when runner-up at Naas. Castrogiovanni drops in class for his reappearance but is 7lb higher than when well beaten at Dundalk in October.
