   Like yesterday's G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Lucayan (Fr) (Turtle Bowl {Ire}), Light Heavy races in cheekpieces, but as with that peer, lacks for nothing in the toughness department. He needed plentiful courage to subdue the ill-fated Furner's Green (Ire) (Dylan Thomas {Ire}) in a mile conditions at this track Mar. 28 and looked thoroughly straightforward when returning here to add the G3 Ballysax S. over this trip last time Apr. 15. Allowed to drift in the market with all the support coming for Wrote, the Bolger homebred stuck close to that favorite's enterprisingly ridden stable companion Tower Rock early. Joining battle in the straight, the chestnut got the better of the Ballydoyle second-string with 150 yards remaining and asserted as Wrote proved a major disappointment, finishing well adrift in third. "He didn't like the ground and is not the same on it, but he's a top horse with a will to win and lots of ability," Jim Bolger said. "He's going for the G1 Irish Derby [at The Curragh June 30]."
