FormscanBy Gary Carson - CHARLIE LUCIANO ran well on his second outing over timber at Ballinrobe and can go one better now. The Noel Meade-trained gelding was prominent for much of the race then before giving way on the run-in to Surac. He had unseated early enough on his hurdling debut and his experience will stand him in good stead now. Chargo has also had a couple of runs over hurdles, finishing placed on his first run before falling when still in the lead here last month. He looked under pressure last time but it was still likely to be a solid effort, if he had stood up, and he has to be a big player again here. Aghaboy obviously commands respect on his first outing for Willie Mullins. The German-bred showed ability on the Flat for Kevin Prendergast and was runner-up in a Roscommon handicap on his penultimate outing.
