BREAKING STORY caught the eye when well backed at the Curragh last week, faring best of the quintet who raced on the outer flank on the stand side, so could be the answer off 1 lb lower. Probe looked a smart prospect when winning at Listowel when last seen in June so is potentially a big threat, while Final Voyage looks on a workable mark starting out for Johnny Murtagh.
