Race preview
LOMBARDI TROPHY had fellow newcomers Jr Mahon and Roosevelt behind when making a bright start over 1m2f here last month and should benefit from the experience. The son of Galileo kept on into fourth behind Stay True to suggest he will be effective over this longer trip. Vorfreude is an obvious threat having filled the runner-up spot on both outings this year over Navan's stiff 1m2f. Dabashan gave plenty of encouragement on debut when keeping on strongly in the closing stages to take third over an extended 1m2f at Dundalk in March. Kasgani should step forward from his introduction at Cork.
