Connections choose right race and Doll delivers

After their Grade One heroics with Flooring Porter at Leopardstown yesterday Gavin Cromwell and Johnny Moore struck in the Ryans Cleaning Event Specialists Maiden Hurdle at Limerick with Shes Some Doll (7/1).

Four to one favourite Boomtown Girl shaped well to the business end here but she eventually had to yield by two and three parts of a length to Shes Some Doll.

The front pair left Junior Rattler thirteen lengths back in third.

Feidhlim Cunningham (assistant trainer) said: “We had her entered in this and a handicap and we said we’d come here as she was getting the mares allowance in an unplaced maiden.

“We felt it might be less competitive than a handicap.

“Johnny said she wasn’t in love with the ground but she jumped really well. She stays well and might have another day on better ground.”

T.N. Brett, rider of Fort William trained by John Patrick Ryan, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung left.
