HARPO MARX, a son of Galileo, was by no means given a hard time when runner-up to stable companion Il Paradiso at Leopardstown and should have come on enough to go one better.

Red Gerry has improved with every run this campaign and wasn't stopping over 1m2f at Navan last time while Royal Aide, by Galileo out of a Listed winner, and Time Capsule, by Kingman out of a mare who produced a winner with her first foal, are newcomers to note.
