Verdict
IN A NUTSHELL was totally unsuited to the crawling pace when narrowly beaten by Miss Accurate at Sligo. Third-placed Dalkeith, who renews rivalry, was well beaten off and granted a stronger gallop Charles Byrnes' gelding should recoup losses. Rusty Halo attracted good support at Kilbeggan on Friday but was brought down while in contention. Connections will be looking for their money back while Dessie Hughes has acquired a useful Flat performer from Richard Hannon in Cumulus Nimbus and he's with the right yard to do well at this game. Alamanda has shown a little promise but needs to do better while Super Collider, a winner at Lingfield in January, should be found a race soon by his new handler.
