The Jim Bolger trained Tomas An Tsioda landed ?70,000 Derrinstown Stud EBF Birdcatcher Nursery with Kevin Manning doing the steering in the colours of the trainer's wife Jackie Bolger.

Manning raced his mount in behind the leaders, led from 2f out and kept on well under to pressure to win by ? length.

Ger Flynn commented on behalf of the absent Jim Bolger, "The horse has had problems with the stalls in the past he was very slowly away at Galway and was withdrawn at The Goffs Million. He was put into the stalls last today which was ideal and he got away nicely. That was Kevins [Manning] 7th time winning the Birdcatcher for Jim Bolger."
