Scholastic and Sweet Eliza both suffered mishaps in the race won by the latter's stable companion Longclaw at Down Royal. Yulong Voice finished third but appears unlikely to get any closer in what looks a better race in which both DAWN OVER OWNING and Estepona Sun arrive in winning form from the Flat. The former has only had six runs and is improving all the time and he battled on well to score over 1m6f at Killarney. Estepona Sun has a higher rating and landed a Leopardstown claimer by 8 lengths after which he changed stables. Sweet Sixteen led 3 out and was only headed at the last at Tipperary so should have come on for the experience while Gordon Elliott's newcomer Duffle Coat has a nice pedigree for jumping.
