Leopardstown Race 5 - Mongey Communications Killavullan Stakes (Group 3)
TREAN (6) placed attempting this level in the Tattersalls Acomb Stakes at York during August prior to a fair fourth in the Goffs National Stakes G1 at the Curragh. Made it two in four at the trip when staying on well for a 0.5L Curragh success latest. Serious player. Ascot listed winner KING OF CLOUGHAN (3) finished 2.5L behind the main selection running sixth last time. Could be in the mix. Stablemate CAPABILITY BROWN (2) virtually made all to get off the mark third-up at the Curragh. Might get involved dropping in distance. BENGAL TIGER (1) was an unchallenged 12L Naas maiden winner six-days-ago and cannot be dismissed.

Before that 5th of 7 in the G2 Railway Stakes at Curragh on July 18 over 1207m, 6 len behind Celeron carrying 59.5kg at $13. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
