The Kayf Tara gelding Fortuna Iuvat is one to keep an eye on as he makes his debut for Joseph O'Brien but testing conditions may hand the initiative to KAGNEY. Noel Meade's charge ran well on his debut over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May and the experience can enable him to see off this opposition. Court Martialed showed a bit more improvement at Cork last month and Dorans River ran well for a long way at the Galway Festival while successful point-to-pointer Minmore Lodge will appreciate a stiff test of stamina.
