FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Three times successful here over the minimum trip, MEHMAN can gain a first victory over 7f. A revelation on the surface a couple of seasons back, the five-year-old returned to something like his best when winning on turf at Naas in May. However, following a really promising first try over this distance at the Curragh last weekend, the gelding looks ready to add to his career tally. First-time blinkers should also benefit the Gerard O'Leary-trained gelding. A five-time winner over a mile here, Punk Poet has also won at this shorter trip on turf. While the additional furlong would be preferable, the seven-year-old is unlikely to be far away. Prisoner's Dilemma, who returned to form here last month, should also be competitive.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (75 = 10st)
