Outspoken creates plenty of noise Outspoken landed a punt in Navan's concluding mile and two maiden with an authoritative victory in his first racecourse appearance. He was viewed as Aidan O'Brien's second string as Joseph O'Brien was on board the 5/2 favourite Cenotaph with Donnacha O'Brien booked for Outspoken. That didn't deter punters though as he was backed at as big as 11/1 in the morning to an opening show of 4/1 before being returned 11/4. Cenotaph took the field along and was still travelling well at the top of the hill with just over three furlongs to travel. Meanwhile, Outspoken was pushed along in fifth. Inside the two pole Centopah was driven by Joseph O'Brien and passed by Salthouse and New Agenda who was tanking along under Pat Smullen. However, Outspoken picked up very well a furlong and a half out and swept past those two rivals. He pulled away in the final furlong to win by three and a half lengths. Salthouse (8/1) came in second. He was a length in front of New Agenda in third at 5/1. Botany Bay finished his race out well to get up for fourth. Donnacha O'Brien said: "He's a big, green, raw horse. He's a lovely horse with a big engine. He'll be suited by stepping up a bit in trip, and can only improve the further he goes."
