Verdict
Ecclesiastical had Elzaamone over three lengths back in third when beaten a long way into second at Fairyhouse with the disappointing Papa Bear further behind in fifth. The latter found the fast going against him that day and has since been beaten a head at Naas with Zephron less than a length behind after leading inside the final furlong. King Of Stars has been a short-priced beaten favourite the last twice and looks exposed so this can go to the once-raced I AM THUNDER. Very well supported for his debut over the minimum here, he couldn't go the early pace but stayed on strongly when getting the hang of the job. Jonjo Stack and Chris Hayes have been in superb form so the speedily-bred newcomer Bluepower is one to keep an eye on. Inventor was engaged in the 5.25 at Gowran yesterday.
