Market speaks for Golanbrook
Golanbrook too strong for He's Our Man

Golanbrook landed a bit of a touch for Tom Foley in the Jack Duggan Memorial Handicap Hurdle at Gowran Park.
The Golan gelding, carrying the Dan O'Neill colours made famous by Danoli, had been a 9/1 shot in the morning and was backed from 7/1 into 5/1 on course.
Barry Geraghty let his mount take up the running after the third last and he galloped on strongly when tackled down the straight.
The hat-trick seeking He's Our Man came through to chase at the second last but couldn't peg back the winner, who stuck on gamely for a three-length success.
4/1 favourite Cry For The Moon stayed on late to grab third from long-time leader Echo Bob
The winner was 2lb better off with He's Our Man having finished a length-and-three-quarters second to that rival when the pair met at Punchestown last month.
"It's nice to go out on a high before his summer holidays. He's going out on the right note," said Foley.
"He has been in eleven months now and after he was beaten at Punchestown last time we wanted to win with him before his holidays.
"Barry was great on him and he didn't get to where he is without being great. He has ridden him three times now - won twice and been second the other time."
