An eye-catcher when keeping on to finish third on his debut at Fairyhouse recently, ELUSIVE PATH can score for Ger Lyons. Following an awkward start, the Elusive Pimpernel gelding gradually worked his way into the race before flashing home to reach the frame. Granted a cleaner break, the three-year-old can get his head in front. Feel Happy should be capable of playing a leading role following a promising fourth-placed opening bid at Naas last month. With the winner subsequently landing a Group 3 and the runner-up romping home in a maiden, the form of that contest looks particularly strong. Well-bred newcomer Tourin is one that should be noted in the market.
Prediction: 1st Elusive Path, 2nd Feel Happy, 3rd Tourin
