Handicap-debutante Premier View (10/3) followed up a recent Down Royal maiden success with another over the same course-and-distance today, landing the opening Molson Coors Beverage Company Nursery for jockey Conor Cusack and trainer Henry De Bromhead.

Purchased as a yearling for just €3,500 from Kilkenny's Pipe View Stud, the son of Invincible Army had scored under 7lb apprentice jockey Cusack at today's course on September 4 and today followed up with his rating of 74, when beating same-sired Invincible Irish by two lengths.

Regarding the Roger Brookhouse-owned winner, Cusack commented “he did it a lot better today than in his maiden. He jumped better, travelled, settled better and got into a nice rhythm.

"He's probably not used to racing that tightly as in today's race but the way he extended and finished, I was delighted with the performance. He showed a good attitude and he is improving the whole time.

"I sat on him at home yesterday morning for the first time since his win up here, and he settled a lot better. He is a horse on the up.

"I could picture him going up to six (furlongs) as we went plenty hard early on and he still found plenty for pressure.”
