Racing 9lb below last winning mark TONY THE GENT can land the spoils here for the trainer/jockey combination of Ger Lyons and Colin Keane. The tough and genuine six-year-old ran well in defeat in first-time blinkers at the Curragh this month and can go well again at the expense of Jim Bolger's Gasta and Miss Zizi who may improve from her seasonal debut at Leopardstown.
