she’s relaxed more and grown up a lot. She was always a bit buzzy and keen but she’s relaxed more at home and is finishing her races real well now. She jumps hurdles well but was in season the last day in Cork and never showed up. We’ll probably mix and match it with her and hopefully we can go back and win a hurdle with her. We’ll probably look for a bit of black type as well. She loves that ground and also loves it here. There is room to race and it’s a fair track. James M Barrett, trainer

Sheehy where it appeared that Bold Approach met with some interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, R.P. Cleary stated that his mount was not travelling well into the straight when the field of runners came around him and he got a bump from the horse beside him. N.M. Crosse stated that his mount got flat footed in the straight when the field of runners came around him. M.P. Sheehy stated that he was riding on the outside of Bold Approach and felt that he had kept a straight racing line.
