1st
Midfield - pushed along 2 out - soon headway and ridden - went second after last - ran on well run-in - led final strides - just held on (trainer said - regarding improvement in form - gelding lost ground at start of last race at Punchestown on 18th Jan and was unable to handle very testing conditions at Limerick the time before. he added that since then his charge had run twice on the all-weather at Dundalk and had handled the quicker surface. in his opinion his charge appreciated the good to yielding ground conditions today and that brought about the improved performance)(tchd 33/1)
