Present In Court justified 2/1 favouritism in the last at Downpatrick, the Two N & M's INH Flat Race, providing Gordon Elliott with a treble on the card.

A slightly disappointing third on his debut at Kilbeggan last month, the son of Court Cave (also the sire of previous winner Tara Mia was sent straight to the front today.

He was ridden a furlong and a half out, and soon stretched clear, coming home ten lengths to the good under Lisa O'Neill for Qatar Racing Limited. Greenandwhitearmy (20s this morning and from 10s to 8s on-course) finished second under Roger Quinlan for Neil McKnight, while Uknowwhatimean was half a length back in third.

Elliott, who was earlier successful with Youghal By The Sea and Touch Base said afterwards: "He wants a trip, he'll be a nice horse to jump a hurdle as he jumps well."
