THE LODGE ROAD ran as though the 1m2f at Leopardstown stretched his stamina last time. He'd shaped better over a shorter trip on his debut at the same track and gets a tentative vote. Dreams And Desires has shown enough with a couple of places to suggest she can have a say, while Katherine Lee is another to consider on earlier form if forgiven a below par effort at Naas last time. Apolskapart and Saratoga Bay are others taking a drop in distance, while Empress Of Rome and Esytopolishadimond are newcomers to note.
