  Hesitant start - soon up with the pace and pulling hard - hit front after 3f - pushed along and lost advantage 2 1/2f out - slipped to 5th final furlong - unable to close late

• Pos 3 5 Apr Fairyhouse

  Settled midpack early - blundered at the third then held 5th at the midway point - still 4th and unable to close ground after wandering right two out - held on weakly to be a distant 3rd at the final fence

• Pos 4 5 Feb Thurles

  Sprinted to front and opened a big margin early - drifted around loosely before the 3rd - six lengths in command at halfway - hit the 6th and lost fluency after - overtaken two out and unable to find more before finishing fourth
