PLINTY left his low-key debut well behind when third in a Leopardstown maiden 15 days ago, with Eleven A 1½ lengths adrift in fourth. Noel Meade's charge is taken to confirm the placings with the latter and emerge on top this time. Lucia Molly will appreciate the return to this trip after finishing second over 6f at Dundalk and she is also of interest.
