b g Beneficial right - Monavale (IRE) right (Strong Gale) right
Soon led, mistake 3rd, clear halfway, slightly reduced advantage 3 out, ridden and kept on well from before last (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvment in form shown, that gelding disappointed at Ballinrobe last time when he was unable to get into the race because of a few jumping errors; he also expressed his disappointment with geldings early season form when it appeared to be unsuited by the softer ground; he concluded by stating that a number of factors had helped his charge return to form and bring about an improvement; these included today's light racing weight, the change in tactics by racing more prominently, more efficient jumping and the step up in trip on better ground)
