Coming Up Easy made an impressive start in handicap company over fences with an easy success at Limerick this afternoon.
The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding had been well beaten in two runs over fences this winter but left that form well behind.
Mike O’Connor bounced out in front on the 15/2 shot this afternoon and soon had a healthy lead in the two-mile-one contest. Carlas Big Jim was under pressure to close the gap turning for home. Coming Up Easy was asked to go and win his race after the second last and soon went clear again.
O’Connor could afford to ease him home in the closing stages to record an 11 length success.
Assistant Davey Roche said:- "That is much improved and possibly the better ground improved him. Mikey was really good on him, was positive and he jumped brilliantly.
"We'll see where we are from here but we're just happy that he has come back.
‘You could step him back up (in distance) now and 2m4f wouldn't be out of the question. Today was important to get things right."
De Bromhead had also been on the scoresheet earlier at Cheltenham with Air Of Entitlement
