HARVARD, by Galileo and a half-brother to five winners including Group 1 winner Tepin, was a beaten odds-on favourite in his two starts last year but his pedigree suggests he'll be a better three-year-old. Prairie Dancer has had his chances and was beaten 5 lengths into second at Sligo but Star Official chased home the odds-on Kailash at Cork and should get into the action. After a promising debut at Leopardstown, Climate returned there for a Group 3 and ran a bit better than her finishing position suggests while Beagnach Sasta has been placed in handicaps at Leopardstown and the Curragh already this month.
