Breaking Story and Inverleigh made winning starts at the Curragh and Leopardstown respectively. Both are open to plenty of improvement and worth a try in this higher grade but it’s hard to see Invincible Karma giving Jessie Harrington back-to-back wins in this as after a lacklustre effort when favourite in a nursery last time. Ballydoyle has three runners including the filly Fantasy, who has been highly tried since winning a Navan maiden in July. Isle Of Innisfree beat better-fancied stablemate ALL THE KING’S MEN at Naas earlier this month but the latter had a troubled passage and was only beaten a head. An easy winner since at Naas, Donnacha O’Brien’s mount can take his revenge.
