Domination finished first past the post at Clonmel in February but was later disqualified on a technicality. He made amends by easily landing a maiden on the same track and looks a very nice prospect. APT MANOR has competed at a higher level and there was clearly something amiss when she pulled up at Clonmel in November. A winner at Galway earlier she has the look of a useful addition to her powerful yard and Paul Townend looks set for another winner. Lend A Hand Son loves the conditions and should do best of the rest.
