This Lisronagh winner produced a performance from the very top drawer. He was ridden close to the pace, often challenging for the lead, in a race where the time was eight seconds faster than the average time of the day. While others struggled leaving the back straight for the final time this fellow picked up strongly on the turn to two out and although he had to pop the last and gave the runner up a glimmer of hope he clearly had plenty more to find as he picked up again on the short run to the line. Being by Mahler out of a Flemensfirth mare he is the same cross as the J P McManus owned and Nicky Henderson trained OK Coral.
