Ambitious Fellow showed major progress from last year's debut to run very well at Kilbeggan last month but Beeverstown Bullet has had plenty of chances and found little at the business end at Listowel after travelling easily. FREE NELSON was returning from a very long break when catching the eye of the stewards over timber at Listowel. He was returning from injury that day and, back in a bumper, can start making up for lost time. Angelsworknovrtime made a very promising debut at Tramore but didn't make the expected progress in a better race at Galway.
