Celtic Artisan was a well-beaten third here on Friday while Jj Is Talkin and Bold Pearl were also beaten a long way at the same fixture. Burnt Sienna, runner-up in a Sligo claimer in June, finished tailed off there earlier this month while Bold Faith has been looking very one-paced. Hurricane Volta was soon beaten after attempting to make all over this trip at Wexford so the vote goes to COLUMBANUS, a half-brother to a Chester Cup winner who will have found a mile inadequate on his debut at Galway but still showed plenty of potential.
