In touch, ridden under 3f out and steady headway on outer to lead inside final furlong, stayed on well to extend advantage well inside final furlong, comfortably (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that the gelding ran well previously in Galway but in the apprentice race at the Curragh last time riders were not allowed to carry whips, today the gelding perhaps needs a strong ride, may have appreciated a return to being ridden by a senior rider, headgear was reapplied today) (op 5/1 tchd 11/2)
