Our stable prepared emergency Dunlee gained admission to race 2 and connections would be pleased that the three-year-old Dissident Gelding did with Rory Hutchings piloting the runner to a solid third from an awkward barrier 11 when beaten by Mudgegonga and The Premier in the 1400m Star Turn at Vinery maiden plate in race two on the Scone card.

Dunlee was having career start 2 and jumped at big odds again when last seen racing behind the speed to finish second last of 8 on March 19 beaten 6.75 lengths behind Favra on that occasion.
Dunlee appears that the penny may be dropping as connections would no doubt be looking forward to where Damien places him next time out.
