Dual-purpose performer for Henry De Bromhead, signing off for that yard when winning a 1m soft-ground claimer at Killarney with plenty in hand (in this new headgear combination); far too keen on yard debut in Galway Flat handicap and cheekpieces now replace blinkers for hurdles return (first in 15 months). |
