1st
Held up in touch - not fluent 4 out - 7th after 4 out - progress going well after next - quickened well in 3rd between horses after 2 out to soon lead - extended advantage before last and driven clear - eased close home - easily (trainer said - regarding the improved form shown - that his charge disappointed at naas and no abnormality was found post race. as a consequence he was sent home to his owners premises where he was given a break of approximately 2 months. he added that on returning back into training his fitness was built up gradually. he felt that today the animal appreciated the longer trip - the good going and overall he had strengthened up over recent months)(op 5/2 tchd 11/4)
