Point-to-point winner The Breathalyser had made an encouraging debut under rules when chasing home Major Hayward at Cork and fulfilled that promise.

He tracked the leaders throughout before hitting the front turning in. Whatever Next looked to be closing on him before the last but his effort petered out on the run-in.

The winner pulled away to the line for an impressive victory. Connections have a high opinion of the Bob Back gelding and see his future over fences.

Whatever Next was soon in front. He remained prominent when headed four out but couldn't match the winner from two out. He stayed on and closed the gap before the last but couldn't maintain his effort.

It was another solid effort having also finished runner-up at Limerick last time and he deserves to find a race.

East Beach, who had finished a couple of lengths behind the winner at Cork, weakened out of it from the second last.

He had hit the front four out but was under pressure when tackled turning in and soon had no more to offer.

Hey Porter had improved to track the leaders after halfway but came under pressure approaching three out and could only keep on one paced.

Storey Coburn was also to the fore throughout before crying enough before the third last.
