JAMES WATT (IRE) (c, 2, Morpheus {GB}–Tomintoul Singer {Ire} {SP-Eng}, by Johannesburg), sent off as the 6-4 favourite, was slowly away and free behind the leaders before being shuffled back to last by halfway. Picking up when switched out soon after, the £17,000 GOUKPR yearling and £26,000 GOFBRE 2yo whose useful dam is a half to the SW sprinter Geesala (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}) gained the upper hand with 150 yards remaining and knuckled down to record a comfortable two-length success from Wedding Date (GB) (Dandy Man {Ire}). In doing so, he became the first winner for his first-season sire Morpheus, Frankel's half-brother by Oasis Dream (GB) who stands at Tally Ho Stud for €4,000. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $5,165.
