JOHNNY'S LANTERN, a sister to Forpadydeplasterer, went to Galway with a huge reputation and started a short-priced favourite. While she hardly endeared herself to her supporters she ran well enough after pulling too hard and will have come on for the experience. Windwood Bay went down in several notebooks after a nice debut at Wexford while Witness Express ran a fine race behind Fuschia Belle at Limerick and looks a certain future winner. Skiing In Tune is another who should find a race after a fair run behind Battling Boru at Wexford.
