That's as short as he wants, and Davy said he may have gone a gear too slow. He's a real chaser in the making. We may have a look at Punchestown for the three-mile novice. Adrian Paul Keatley, trainer

A. Ring, rider of Mr Morocco (GB) trained by P.J. Rothwell, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount made a noise. The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Mash Potato, ridden by Mr S.P. Kelly, and trained by Noel C. Kelly. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. Mr S.P. Kelly stated that the instructions were to drop his mount out, in order to get him to settle, as he can be keen and buzzy at home, and get him into a rhythm jumping and to come home as best he can. He said his mount ran a bit keen, had a good look at the hurdles, but jumped better than he had shown at home, changed his legs a number of times and gave a number of heaves. He felt it was best in the circumstances to hold his mount together until he jumped the last hurdle before riding him out to the line. Noel C. Kelly confirmed the instructions and stated he was satisfied with the ride considering it was his charge's first race over hurdles. He felt the horse would improve for a step up in trip and better ground, and stated he planned to run him in England where he may find weaker races, as he is a horse of moderate ability. The Stewards also received a report from the Turf Club Veterinary Officer who stated that Mash Potato had coughed post race. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations offered but advised Mr S.P. Kelly to be seen to make more effort in future.
