  handy early - 6th 4 out and made headway after 2 out - up to a modest 3rd but found nothing before the last

• Pos 5 8 May Downpatrick

  Sat close up early - disputed second at halfway - slipped to third approaching two out - unbalanced at the last and unable to find more - down to fifth into the straight then plugged on steadily to finish

  Settled just off the pace early - moved into contention after the 2nd and up to 4th before 4 out - 5th turning into the straight - held that position with little more to offer on the run-in - finished 7th

• Pos 5 12 Oct Cork

  Up with the front group early - fell back to the middle of the field - moved forward to challenge 4 out and shared front position briefly - outpaced and caught before 2 out - faded to 5th and plugged on at one tempo
