Adrian Maguire has never made any secret of the regard in which he holds LET YOURSELF GO and the son of Zaffaran got himself back on course to justify lofty expectations here. Put in his place by Give It Time last time, it will be fascinating to see how that highly impressive twenty one length winner, performs on her first outing since, when she lines up here, weather permitting, tomorrow.
A point-to-point winner on good to firm going, LET YOURSELF GO has shown his versatility by scoring in a bumper on soft and after making all here, he had matters well in hand two out, going on for a comfortable six length win.
Maguire said of the Colman Sweeney-ridden winner, ?I love him ? he's a big horse but good horses can overcome dislikes and he would not be in love with that ground. He came here to gain experience and we'll look at Punchestown now. He will go over fences next season ? he could be anything."
PAUL KRISTIAN earned his rider, Kevin Coleman, a 50 day ban under Rule 212 (governing non-triers). The explanation of trainer Liam Burke was noted. Suffice as to say that this didn't look good. This son of Overbury is obviously a talented sort. He destroyed the opposition on his career debut in a most competitive four-year-old geldings maiden at the Kanturk/Duhallow meeting at Dromahane last December.
BETHEHOLYGOBBS, also began life `between the flags' and he is one to keep in mind too after finishing strongly for third. In Edward Farrell's silks, made famous by Hamers Flame and How's The Boss, this Insan gelding looks another useful recruit, having come from the 2005 Goffs Land Rover Sale.
CASTLE HOWARD, HEY PORTER, MIDNIGHT RAMBLE, CAPDALIGHT, BRING ON ROCKET all did their future hopes no harm with their showings here.
