Twenty four hours after Gordon Elliott saddled an impressive point to point winning graduate son of Mahler in American Mike at Down Royal this son of Mahler scored at Rathcannon. Furthermore, he is out of a point to point winning mare who was steered to victory at Taylorstown on her second start by Elliott a number of years ago. This fellow had to show true resolve in testing conditions around this gruelling circuit and was pressed strongly by Clonakilty all the way up the hill. He is out of an own sister to In Contract and from the family of Glebe Lad and Stashedaway and looks sure to have the attitude to make into a decent winter campaigner.
