No worries for Cromwell's odds-on chance

Odds-on favourite Minella Youngy had little difficulty in landing the Join Racing TV Now Maiden Hurdle for Gavin Cromwell.

Runner-up on his previous two starts at Tipperary and Downpatrick, the 8/13 chance tracked Jumping Susie before taking over two out and went on to account for that rival by ten lengths.

Luke Dempsey partnered the 109-rated winner.

Cromwell said, “The step up in trip obviously was a big help. He’s been knocking on the door and was entitled to win.

“He’s still unfurnished and hopefully there is some more improvement in time. He’ll tip away for the summer.

“The syndicate are all lads involved in greyhound racing and includes Paul Young who is a trainer in the UK.”
