 The searching pace set by No Frontier, who soon had the field strung out, casts a doubt over the validity of the form because it was clearly too fast for the leader, who went out like a light a furlong out. It was also too fast for many of the others, most of whom had to be ridden from some way out.
But all credit to Young Talent, who overcame a slow start to lead a furlong from home to stay on strongly. Trainer Jim Bolger said " He is in at Ballinrobe on Tuesday and will propbably run if he is okay. He stays well, and after Ballinrobe he could go jumping for somebody."
