  Sat close to the pace early - stumbled and needed a slap after the first - 5th at halfway - pushed along after 4 out with no headway made - pulled up before the last

• Pos 4 16 Oct Thurles

  Well behind from the start and quickly cut adrift - fencing was far from slick throughout and always out of contention - nudged and urged from the 1st and 2nd - laboured at the 3rd and 4th - in contact with the main group by halfway - advanced to an unremarkable 4th position nearing the straight - faded before 2 out - finished well beaten in 4

  Held up at the back - no impression made - well beaten in 8th

• Pos 5 22 Aug Kilbeggan

  Held up at the back and awkward at the second - up to 6th after the 8th - lost a little touch after two out - held 5th before another mistake at the last
