KINGKONG CIERGUES (15) has taken his form to a new level. He followed a solid second over 3m1/4f at Fairyhouse with a decisive 2. 25L victory at the same venue. Hard to oppose if on song. THE LOVELY MAN (4) has also been progressive finishing third at Naas before producing a dominant 5L success in a staying chase at Navan thirty nine days ago. Rates a key contender. JOYAU DE THAIX (1) returned to winning ways at Limerick securing a 1. 3L victory. Remains of interest from this new mark. KASANOVA'S DREAM (14) was 28L adrift last time out. Previously placed in a maiden at Kilbeggan tackling 2m3f. Type to bounce back.
