Calico, a winner here last month before a very good run at Listed level at Galway, was probably feeling the effects when well beaten there the next day. Charlie Luciano won three times before finding 2m6f just beyond him at Downpatrick. SAMUI, a winning bumper and hurdler, made a bad mistake two out when runner-up at Galway and can gain compensation though Luminous Light won a Cork maiden in April and has produced two very good runs on the Flat subsequently.
