In depth

Verdict

SIR LUCAN finished last of five on his debut but it was a different matter in the Group 2 Beresford at the Curragh when a staying-on fourth behind stable companion High Definition. He can lose his maiden tag before heading for better things. Flying Visit was only a length behind High Definition in a Curragh maiden and wasn't beaten far in his next three starts before landing a Listowel maiden. He was beaten a neck when attempting to concede 9lb to Rebel Step in a Thurles nursery last week so should again go well. Kailash missed the break and never got close enough to Santa Barbara to mount a challenge at the Curragh but was going on strongly at the finish and should be winning soon. Prairie Dancer has been a short-priced beaten favourite the last three times but didn't appear to take to Polytrack at Dundalk last time.
