Natalia Lupini and Craig Bryson were amongst the winners at Dundalk last night when Whistling Jamesie landed the nursery at 20/1 and Bryson gave an update on promising two-year-old Eleven A .

The Calyx colt won a Down Royal maiden on his second start before finishing a creditable fifth in the Listed Star Appeal Stakes at Dundalk last Friday.

"We thought he ran very well. There were some nice horses in the race," said Bryson.

"Just the way the race worked out, we probably had to track a wide passage the whole way around. It maybe cost us a little bit in the finish, maybe a place, but we thought he had progressed well.

"First time in a stakes race and he ran well.

"That will probably be him (for the year), he is going to go to the Newmarket Sales. We won't give him away but, if we are getting paid, we will let him go because we think he will progress at three.

"The first day (fourth at Leopardstown), he was just fresh and gassy. He's learning as he goes. He's that type of horse, he's not bad but just on his toes a wee bit. That will come out of him with racing."
