Verdict
Miami Thunder was placed three times here before finding testing ground against him at the Curragh. Navalny did nothing wrong in three starts including a Listed contest here while The Franchise made a promising debut at the Curragh then found soft ground against him on a return visit. UNLESS reappeared with a cracking effort behind the year older and smart Honey Girl on the latter track where she was only headed inside the final furlong. Normal progress should see her go one better. Ger Lyons has a pair of newcomers engaged with Colin Keane's mount Smote having a very strong pedigree for this trip while Lightning Legend cost €185,000 and his stable know how to get one ready.
