Hurricane Ivor blows them away from the front

Hurricane Ivor (10/1) was another to make all at the Curragh when bouncing back to form in the Mongey Communications Handicap.

Trained by Jessica Harrington for Fiona Carmichael, the seven-year-old kept responding for Shane Foley and repelled Pinar Del Rio by three-parts of a length.

“He's a cool horse, he comes out every year and wins one,” said Harrington.

“It's the first time he's won over seven and he loved that. I was a little bit worried about the ground but he was great, I couldn't be more happy with him.

“He's dropped down in the handicap and we've gone up a furlong. He had the draw tonight, got on the front end and he had them all burned off.

“He's lovely and he's sound as a pound. We could come back here next month for another handicap.”
