Joseph O'Brien runs two with Kadupul, a recruit from William Haggas, likely to prove better than Falsaron as he made a winning debut in the UK so should be ready. STAR HARBOUR has made a slight improvement in each of his races and had the remainder well beaten when a close third in a track and trip maiden where Barretstown was around four lengths behind. Ben Siegel hasn't shown much in maidens at big prices.
