an expensive purchase out of Eugene M. O'Sullivan's yard after winning at Limerick in December, was stepped straight up to 3m on his debut for new connections and relished the test, hard to know quite how much he achieved in sauntering so far clear of well-below-form rivals but hard not to be impressed with this; led second, soon a little way clear, travelled fluently, in command 3 out, unextended as he came further and further clear of toiling rivals; he's likely to progress further and is well worth his place in the Albert Bartlett now, odds of as big as 20/1 for that seeming something of an under-reaction to this performance (stable's Monalee won this race last year en route to finishing second in that Cheltenham contest).

had been suited by the step up in trip when winning his maiden at Thurles but found this all too much at this stage of his career less than a fortnight on; held up, not always fluent, crept closer early final circuit, went distant second 3 out, behind when bad mistake next.
