Some potentially nice types on show here and it looks a race to follow in the future. Golanbrook didn't attract much support before his debut at Gowran early this month but made a very impressive start and would probably have beaten Mascherano but for drifting left in the closing stages. That was a fine effort and he should be winning soon though MICKELSON may just have his measure on this occasion. Noel Meade's was fancied to make a winning debut here in May but was eventually just touched off by the useful Bullock Harbour and will be all the better for that run. Jessica Harrington will have been very disappointed when Serein was disqualified after finishing first past the post at Fairyhouse but it shouldn't be long before compensation arrives while the likes of Ahyaknowyerselfand Jack The Pirate have shown enough to suggest they are worthy of watching.
