TAJ MAHAL put the experience gained at the Curragh in June to good use when a close third on the same track last month. The runner-up has won subsequently and he can gain his first victory though stable companion Lancaster Bomber made a promising debut in that latter contest and is no forlorn hope to turn the tables. True Valour's close third in a Naas maiden a month ago has been given a boost by subsequent victories of the first two home and he can ensure the Ballydoyle pair don't have things their own way while the speedily-bred Miss Qatar and the Galileo filly Switch In Time, who is out of a 7f Grade 1 winner in the USA, are newcomers to note.
