SEREIN, unfortunate to be disqualified at Fairyhouse a month ago, probably produced an even better performance behind Wandering Aengus at Punchestown last week and looks ready for compensation. Sobrando Lodge has been going well and his close second to Smokey Joe Joe at Bellewstown in August is the best form on view though he didn't quite run up to that at Listowel last time. Wither Hills made a promising start at Perth in May and is one to note while Luddsdenene has raced against decent opposition and should find this a little less daunting. Noel Meade's newcomer Soul Of Arran is out of a mare from a very useful family on the Flat in North America.
