This youngster posted an enormous performance on debut at Knockanard to do everything bar win as he was collared on the line. He made the running but always had company never too far away until the third last fence where he was left in front and had to tackle the stiff climb to the last and home run alone and was something of a target for the J P McManus owned No Flies On Me who collared him in the final strides. Having done everything a winner should or would do he has to be taken very seriously indeed.
