Professor Longhair has all answers on racecourse bow Wootton Bassett colt Professor Longhair showed plenty of ability in making a winning debut for Donnacha O'Brien and Gavin Ryan in the Shop Online At Horsecare.ie Maiden at Dundalk. The 11/2 shot tracked throughout and was asked for more two furlongs out. Ryan rode him to the front two furlongs out and the pair kept up the gallop to come in by two and a-quarter lengths from 50/1 outsider Leopold The First. O'Brien said: "He's a beautiful horse - he's a fine, big, strong horse. He's quite sleepy at home, so I think there is a lot of improvement in him. "Fantastic - a good starting point for him, so looking forward to him. "You could (see him going out in trip) but also I think he is going to sharpen up for the run. I don't think he is a mile and a-half horse by any means. Maybe he could stretch out to 10 (furlongs), but I think kind of a mile to 10 would be kind of his trip. "Yeah I think so (find something on turf soon), we'll take him home and see how he is and make sure he comes out of it and make a plan then."
