FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent Curragh maiden winner EPHESUS looks ideally drawn for one likely to hold a prominent pitch from the off. Making all to open his account earlier this month, the Galileo colt appeared to appreciate the first-time cheekpieces. With that aid retained now, it will take a tough horse to pass him up the stiff Galway hill. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Naturally Nimble has yet to get his head in front but has run with credit in some decent maidens. Having shaped well on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse last time, the son of Too Darn Hot has to be a live contender. Apprentice Derby winner Courageous Strike should appreciate stepping back up in trip having kept on late over ten furlongs at the Curragh last time.
An extended handicap for three years old only rated 60-90
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
