A debut winner of his maiden at Kirkistown. He chased the long-time leader and slick jumping Knockduff until taking over the lead between the final two fences. Having gone a strong gallop this fellow toughed it out well and showed exceptional resolve to stay on for a six lengths success. Whilst the leaders finished tired having posted a strong early part of this race there is no getting away from the fact that they clocked a time which held up strongly alongside the five year old equivalent on the day.
