Verdict
Charlie Luciano was in decent form on the Flat last summer without winning and was narrowly beaten in a Gowran maiden hurdle in October. He'll be better for a run at Dundalk last month and this is a poor contest. Starman had shown a bit of promise behind Nick Rockett at Naas and punters plunged on him at Clonmel but he pulled much too hard in the lead, made mistakes and was soon done with. UP AND OUT didn't handle heavy ground when last seen at Wexford in October but her four previous efforts on better going would put her in the picture. Providing there's no more rain she could be the one to beat.
