Get off to a flier with Learn

THE Claregalwayhotel.ie EBF Maiden may not be the highlight of the first stage of the Ballybrit extravaganza this evening, but promises fireworks both on the track and in the betting ring.

This sees two juggernauts of the game go head-to-head, with Aidan O’Brien’s Learn and Dermot Weld’s Riviera Poet taking each other on.

They have shown immense promise in their single outings to date and choosing between them is difficult.
