The action turns to the Turf course with the Godolphin gelding TAOS likely to prove popular. Caught in the closing stages here in March having attempted to make all, Eoin Harty’s charge finished ahead of Drillomatic with Irish Expectations well behind and can go one better in this. Lord Dragon drops in class with Antonio Gallardo taking over the reins but has an outside draw and Lion Charmer may prove a bigger threat with a clear run having been hampered last time.
