The veteran My Manekineko pops up every now and then as he did over 2m3f at Downpatrick a week ago but, though he's won over the course and distance, he seems better over further these days. Alice O'Byrne looked a certain future winner when narrowly beaten over the track and trip in December but hasn't made the expected progress. Winning point-to-pointer IRREGULARHEARTBEAT (NAP) has been improving with each run and was returning from a three-month break when chasing home Quarry Lil at Clonmel. She had Joeswayornoway four lengths back in third and, though the latter won easily on a return visit on Tuesday, she'll be 6lb worse off and doesn't appear likely to reverse the form.
