Fiach Mchugh landed a Dundalk maiden then finished runner-up to Ivy League, who takes his chance in the classic earlier, in a Naas handicap when conceding 3lb. ESCULENTO has bumped into a couple of very smart Ballydoyle fillies in her two races this season and makes her handicap debut off what looks a fair mark. She looks the one to beat though Dundalk winner National Gallery will be better for last month's run over 6f at Naas and should be suited by the extra. Solar Breeze very nearly shocked the odds-on Ezine on the latter track and makes her handicap debut under a 7lb claimer.
