P2P.ie comment: The Mahler gelding Boss Mans Ladder made an encouraging debut at Curraheen late last month when finishing third in a nine-runner five-year-old geldings’ maiden. Settled in mid-division, the youngster who was the only newcomer in the line line-up, held every chance at the third-last before staying-on to take third behind some more experienced rivals. With plenty of improvement expected following this outing, he can be expected to go closer next time out.
