FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - GAME PRESENT won a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick in mid-June. The chestnut was subsequently thrown out due to a prohibited substance being found in his system. Henry de Bromhead's charge ran at his local track in Tramore since, and though he didn't come up to the expectations of those that made him 9/4 second favourite, there was still merit in his effort. Game Present led at Tramore, and he was soon clear. The selection made a slight mistake at the fifth, and he had a reduced advantage briefly from the sixth. He got a reminder before the eighth, coming back to the field and joined approaching two out where he was headed. One paced after Game Present ended up fourth of six, beaten five and a quarter lengths by winner Poker D'ainay. Lessofdnegativity, Woodbrook Boy, De Hollow Man, Lough Sewdy and Mustmeetkate will justifiably have their each-way backers.
