Two for Oxalido at Ballinrobe Oxalido followed up his course success from nearly three weeks ago in the Brodericks Electrical Handicap Hurdle again with Andrew McNamara in the saddle. He was 20/1 twenty days back but the style of that success saw his odds shorten this time from 4/1 into 11/4. Up eight pounds in the handicap for today, the French-bred overcame that inconvenience and his trainer Seamus O'Donnell said, "I was afraid of the ground but I had someone walk it and they told me that it wasn't too bad. I'm glad that last shower of rain held off until as late as it did." (EM)
