Mcpherson had Lord Luker a short-head behind when third at Limerick then found 1m4f too far on a return visit. The latter has since improved when runner-up on the same track and there's nothing between the pair. GAHERIS just failed to concede 5lb to Zola Sakura at Gowran and the winner has run well subsequently. Joseph O'Brien's charge looks the one to beat here though Jim Bolger's Premium Ticket is one to note in the market.
