P2P comment: It is rare to see a 16-runner four-year-old maiden being run these days, so it was no surprise that the Necarne contest which was won in impressive fashion by Good Man Pat was a competitive. Easing his way to the front at the second-last, the Gold Well gelding soon went clear to win in authoritative fashion. In defeating the big field by 12-lengths, he accounted for The Pigeons third Present From Dubai and Largy third Ballymoy to ensure there was plenty of placed form on offer. A half-brother to Classical Twist, a horse who won a Bellharbour four-year-old maiden for the same connections of Denis Murphy and Pat Coffey before joining Jonjo O’Neill, Good Man Pat was clearly well thought of as he was sent off as an even-money favourite at Lisronagh on debut when pulling-up having lost a shoe in running. This was an impressive performance.
