FormscanBy Alan Magee - BELTS AND BRACES appears to have found a good opportunity to avenge an unlucky run at Down Royal last time. Ger Lyons’ charge was made favourite for that five-runner event won by Texas Rock on the back of two promising efforts but Colin Keane was all dressed up with nowhere to go on the rail and just had to sit and suffer. Full Steam Ahead is progressing with racing and showed plenty of pace on his reappearance when second to Kernoff at Tipperary and, although absent in over three months, a reproduction of that should see him go close. Third-placed Champagne Or Water won next time out, while Kernoff subsequently won a handicap at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend and boasts a rating in the high 90’s. The debut of Udogo was certainly not without some merit as he put in some good work at the finish to make the frame behind Najm Suhail in a juvenile maiden at Dundalk. However it must be of concern that we have not seen him in the intervening 15 months.
