Competitive handicap where it is hard to ignore the clear and obvious chances of the Ger Lyons-trained LONG ARM. The Rock Of Gibraltar gelding won on debut at Gowran Park when last seen in July, leading inside the final furlong going best close home to win by a neck. The three-year-old can improve once again to land the spoils at the expense of the Jim Bolger-trained Girolamo, winner over C&D earlier this month. Eminence for Ballydoyle and Moktamel have had a number of chances to win over the summer and may have to settle for the minor honours once again.
