Naas debut winner STORM MIAMI (NAP) was beaten a nose in a Listed contest on a return visit and just over a length in a similar contest at the Curragh. Ger Lyons' puts 7lb claimer Jack Kearney up to reduce the weight with Colin Keane on board Mr Saturday, who had shown potential in two starts in May but was well beaten in a Curragh maiden last month. Gloucester stayed on strongly to score over 5f at Cork so won't be inconvenienced by stepping up while Megarry beat a huge field of maidens in style over this trip at the Curragh. Lia Fail has won over 7f and an extended 5f this summer so this trip should prove ideal.
