REGINA DRACONES has won her last two starts on the track, the latest from a subsequent winner. She's 10lb higher but improving fast and a hat-trick beckons. Papal Lodge is also on a three-timer after victories at Punchestown and Down Royal and a 7lb increase is unlikely to prevent another big run. Breakeven is another progressive type making his handicap debut after comfortably landing a maiden here while Viscount Gort gained plenty of admirers when landing a Thurles maiden. The former's yard is also represented by Robinstown, who battled to victory at Navan while there are plenty of others with chances in a wide-open handicap including the progressive She's Commanche, an easy winner when stepped up to this trip at Leopardstown.
