I was worried about how he would handle the real heavy ground but he was good. He’s probably better in Grade 2’s or Grade 3’s rather than a Grade 1. It was a good performance. Gordon Elliott, trainer

L.P. Dempsey, rider of Double Seven trained by Martin Brassil, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount never travelled during this race and was pulled up. The Stewards requested a report from Gordon Elliott, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of A Toi Phil (FR), placed first, as compared with its recent run. Gordon Elliot reported that his charge had run in a Grade 1 race at Leopardstown on the 12th February where he was beaten at the second last fence and struggled home from that point whereas today he was dropped in class to a Grade 2 race. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.
