Stony Stream posted a very likeable debut effort when finishing runner up in the INH Flat Race at Navan on 23rd September for trainer Eoin Griffin. The son of Watar disputed the lead from over 6f from home and took a narrow advantage 3f out before giving best in the final two furlongs to the Gordon Elliott trained Ballydunblaze. He is sure to derive plenty of improvement from this initial racecourse outing and is likely to go very close the next day before going on to make his mark over obstacles.
