Craggaknock was then given a break before posting a really solid effort at Nottingham when running on well to finish a 1 1/2 length fourth of 13 to Rhombus in a class 3 contest off 81.
He also ran really well in three outings last season in competitive contests, including when fourth of 16 in a class 2 at Thirsk off a rating of 82.

He also boasts a 44% strike rate in the grade having won four of his nine starts in it and also been placed on two occasions.
