Not Just Yet (12/1) got off the mark on his sixth career start today, winning Listowel's Croom House Stud Handicap for trainer Noel Meade, owner Martin McHale and apprentice jockey Adam Caffrey.

The son of top stallion Night Of Thunder, whose covering fee is €100,000, was twice placed as a juvenile and today improved on his April reappearance run when beating runner-up The Snapper by a half-length.

Meade wasn't present and Caffrey commented: "All his form was on slow or soft ground so we thought the ground might be too quick. He was slowly away but got a good position. I probably got there too soon, he didn't do a whole pile in front but he is nice and done it well.

“Hopefully now he can step forward having proven himself on that ground.”
