The final of this lucrative sales race can go to BRUNELLE, one of four trained by the in-form Ger Lyons and ridden by Colin Keane. A debut winner at Leopardstown, he ran well enough in a Curragh Group 3 before dropping back to 5f at Dundalk and showing very good pace.

Miss Myers took advantage of heavy going to score easily at Limerick and conditions will be in her favour while Elite Legion had an easy victory over this trip at Listowel. Stela Star was engaged in a Group 3 at Leopardstown yesterday.
