Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained, LETHAL STEPS looked to have plenty in hand when landing a competitive contest at the Galway festival finishing 2L ahead of Morosini. The pair appear capable of running big races again at the expense of the Joseph O'Brien/J P McManus pair, Gardens Of Babylon and Top Moon. the Seamus Fahey-trained, Coral Blue can go well at a price.
  1. Lethal Steps
  2. Morosini
  3. Top Moon
