DYLAN LOMBARDY has been making steady progress and though beaten when well supported at Kilbeggan is still well handicapped and can get off the mark. My Manekineko has managed to win nine times in 115 races and arrives in fine shape having won over fences at Navan in March and been narrowly beaten at Haydock last month. Ciankyle scored over fences at Thurles when last seen in November and can race from 8lb lower back over timber while Na Caith Tobac pops up every now and then and would have a chance on his close second in a Leopardstown handicap in March.
