Gun shoots down rivals at Fairyhouse

Gun Shoot added to a previous win at Dundalk last autumn when gamely landing the Follow Fairyhouse On Twitter Handicap.

Conor Hoban produced the five-year-old mare to lead inside the final furlong, and she kept on under pressure to beat Bwindi by half a length.

Top-weight Sharjah was a further length and a quarter back in third in this mile and a quarter event.

Winning trainer Pat Martin said, “It’s been coming and she’s run well the last few times. She’s hard on herself and needs a good pace.

“Things went fairly well for her today and she loves quick ground. Conor gave her a lovely ride and he gets on well with her.”
