Present In Court justified 2/1 favouritism in the last at Downpatrick, the Two N & M's INH Flat Race, providing Gordon Elliott with a treble on the card.

A slightly disappointing third on his debut at Kilbeggan last month, the son of Court Cave (also the sire of previous winner Tara Mia ) was sent straight to the front today.

He was ridden a furlong and a half out, and soon stretched clear, coming home ten lengths to the good under Lisa O'Neill for Qatar Racing Limited.

Greenandwhitearmy (20s this morning and from 10s to 8s on-course) finished second under Roger Quinlan for Neil McKnight, while Uknowwhatimean was half a length back in third.

Elliott, who was earlier successful with Youghal By The Sea and Touch Base , said afterwards: "He wants a trip, he'll be a nice horse to jump a hurdle as he jumps well."
