Cougar Ridge(11/4) was withdrawn not under orders. Rule 4 applies to all bets, deduction 25 cent in the euro.

That was good, he was impressive. Chris said the other horses were getting in his way three furlongs out. I thought it was a big ask for him on his second run but I was still confident he'd run well, I didn't think he would do that. He didn't mind the ground and he will be better on better ground. We were ready to run him last season but just weren't happy with him. We gelded him and within a week he was a different horse, so much more straightforward, so we couldn't regret doing it. The Hyland's sold him (after he won at Dundalk) but they are still good clients of mine and have Srucahan to run this season. They still have the dam at home and two full-sisters and this fellow has done a lot for the family. I'll chat to the owner (Robert Ng) now, he is a new owner and I'm delighted for him. I don't know where he will go next but we always thought a bit of him and aiming high I think he could be a Jersey Stakes horse. He will stay a mile as well.
