Carrig Cathal went for £40,000 at the sales after landing a point at Corbeagh House in November though he was probably fortunate as he was left in the lead at the last. IMPULSIVE STAR was also left clear at the last at Ballyarthur a fortnight ago but looked to be travelling best at the time and can gain his first success under Rules.
