Youth strikes again at Fairyhouse

Memory Of Youth stayed on best on the run-in to land the spoils in the concluding handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

The 'Sneezy' Foster-trained mare had won over a similar trip here last month and made the most of her opportunity today after getting in as second reserve.

Sean Flanagan produced his mount to challenge turning for home and the daughter of Yeats chased down Kashi on the run-in to record a two-length success at odds of 10/1.

The winner had been second to easy winner Round The Buoy on her most recent outing at Punchestown nine days ago.

Foster said:- “She loves it here and the blinkers have really switched her on. She’s travelling better and jumping better. Sean gave her a great ride.

“Fran Kennedy who rides her out everyday at home has been telling me she’s on fire.

"Normally I wouldn’t run them back so quick but when they are as happy as she is at the moment then why not."
