P2P.ie comment: Unlucky to come down at the final fence at Boulta and Dromahane on his first two competitive outings, The Dawn Man, ensured that his first completed start was a winning one when landing an older maiden at Liscarroll in good style. Making much of the running in the eight-runner contest, the Milan gelding quickened clear early in the home straight and was soon in command. Comfortably accounting for a solid benchmark in the now ten times raced Tippinawaynow, a horse who has finished in the money on three other occasions, The Dawn Man, who is consigned by Denis Ahern, the man responsible for producing Hennessy Gold Cup winner Native River amongst many others, shaped himself out as a horse well capable of doubling up.
