Invitation has been well beaten in both starts on ground with some give while Fulvio reappears after a poor run here in October. MUDLAHHIM was staying on nicely behind Magna Grecia at Naas in September and the subsequent exploits of the winner in landing the Futurity at Doncaster and the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket suggests Kevin Prendergast's colt will take the world of beating. Lancastria looked a certain future winner when runner-up at Killarney and can't have been right when well beaten at the Curragh. Sweet Dime appears to have gone backwards but Dermot Weld unleashes a well-connected filly in Luxuriant, a half-sister to a couple of winners and out of a Group 3 winner.
