FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Saturday's shock 40/1 Curragh winner LISMACBRYAN might be able to reverse Bellewstown form with Art Of Unity. Although the pair meet on identical terms, the Patrick Magee-trained three-year-old is a lightly raced gelding with more scope for improvement. Stepping up in trip is also likely to suit him that bit better than his recent conqueror. Muredach Kelly's Art Of Unity has never won beyond 5f but the nine-year-old could be capable of doing so at this stage of his career. Usually a trail blazer, the veteran settled much better under this jockey when taking a lead last time. If able to replicate that ride, his young apprentice has every chance of another success. Shoebox King would arguably prefer further but the race should be set up nicely for a closer.
