FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GALEN finished second to City Of Troy on his debut in last year's Derby Weekend and should benefit from his course reappearance run last month, having again shown smart form. A flashy type, it was mildly disappointing he failed to win here last month but was beaten by a race-fit rival while the well-held third-placed horse scored easily subsequently and is now rated 90. Lucky Out and barrier trial winner Lucky Melody are closely matched on recent Leopardstown form with Lucky Melody shaping as though she would improve considerably at a longer distance. Next Trick faces a stiffer task than when finishing second at Gowran recently.
