David Marnane won this in 2010 and Eusepio didn't run badly on his debut in very testing ground at Leopardstown. Lucked Out has been given a break since a promising effort in what looked a strong maiden at Leopardstown in April and improvement looks a certainty as it does for Desiderata, who showed plenty of potential on soft ground at Navan. HARD YARDS made a fine start in a maiden at the Curragh won by Gale Force Ten, who finished runner-up in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot on Thursday, and Andy Oliver's speedily-bred colt looks the one for this.
