Sparan Nua can get back to winning ways in the Group 3 Bahrain Turf Club Desmond Stakes, the twin feature race on Thursday’s Leopardstown card.

The Jim Bolger-trained Dawn Approach filly defied market expectations when bolting up at odds of 25-1 on debut at Naas in May before following up at Gowran Park just 11 days later.
