Three 6f wins with the latest coming at Naas last July off 60 (Carrigans Grove in second) (yielding); has run well over this C&D in October, finished a 6l fifth here (soft to heavy) before a 5.25l third later in the month (6f, heavy); 7f was perhaps too far when last seen here in November; may improve for the run. |
