This has been run twice and Jessica Harrington has won both so Pigeon House could be a bit better than we've seen so far. KING OF SCOTIA had Charles Bianconi behind when runner-up in what looked a strong Curragh maiden won by the latter's stablemate Continuous. There doesn't appear any reason for a form reversal though Aidan O'Brien's charge is owned by the sponsors as is the newcomer Autocrat, a son of No Nay Never out of a Listed winner. Imadpour was taking on some smart performers when fourth behind Hans Andersen at the Curragh while Skip James came from a long way back to finish third over 6f at Fairyhouse in May.
