FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - LARRY LOOBY could be worth a little each-way investment here, equipped with a first-time tongue-strap. Des McDonogh has put the Golden Lariat gelding away since December and he might be rewarded now with the eight-year-old on better ground. Larry Looby won a point-to-point for McDonogh’s son-in-law, Norman Geraghty, and there ought to be a day or two in him on the racecourse proper when conditions are fully in his favour. Given the form of the Philip Rothwell yard,one would be loathe to dismiss Rightback Atya in first-time blinkers. Of the rest one that may come into it is Fly De Megaudis off bottom-weight.
