2-3 over fences inc' Gr 2 novice and the pick of Walsh; interesting but needs improvement

Off the mark at Navan in March; another solid effort since and return to shorter may help
10	Native Speaker Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	153	—	-31313	130	148	122	139d	—	—	+31	36.8	3.00/1	12/1 8%

Thwarted in hat-trick bid when last seen but return to quicker ground may help
