Badger Or Bust and Martin Harley claimed this one with a good positive ride and we he began to extend at the head of affairs a furlong and a half out, the chasing pack headed by Ready To Rocknroll failed to make an impression.

Badger Or Bust had finished third to Bravely Fought off level weights in a Dundalk maiden but rated five pounds less and with the aid of Martin Harley's seven pound claim he was able to easily reverse the form. Bravely Fought could only manage fifth but he certainly wants it better and never really got going in the ground. He was found to be post race normal by the Turf Club Vet after the race.

All bar one of the first five home had a run this season with the only seasonal debutant being the second placed horse Ready To Rocknroll. Jim Gorman's charge should come on for the run but this was encouraging on the basis of his form last season.

Gracious Girl was third in an All Weather engagement at Wolverhampton at the end of February over five furlongs and seven furlongs on this ground just wasn't his cup of tea while The Hillaries is another who has been campaigned at Dundalk and six furlongs may bring out the best in him.
