A tight three-way finish here with Starluck getting his head down on the line to deny fellow newcomer Matters At Hand.

Warm order Tarkari (8/11 to 4/7f) threw down a challenge on the outside but just couldn't peg back the front two.

Starluck took over from long-time leader He's Cool a furlong-and-a-half out but was soon strongly pressed by Matters At Hand.

Dermot Weld's charge may have got his head in front briefly inside the final furlong but it was the Kevin Prendergast-trained colt who was in the lead where it mattered.

The winner's future lies in handicaps according to James Kelly, Lady O'Reilly's racing manager.

Tarkari gave the front horses a bit of a start but stayed on strongly in the final furlong without reeling in the front two.

His stable-mate Ebadiyan jumped slowly but was soon tracking the leader. He was held in third when slightly short of room inside the final furlong and it was an encouraging debut.

Non-runner Dalaval was reported to be lame.
