Captain Hanley

11st 12lb

J: Alan O’Sullivan

T: Eamonn O’Connell

Maiden on the Flat after 18 attempts, rated a lowly 51; now looks a different proposition after a promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel; despite suffering interference, stayed on well over a similar trip to this, form strongly advertised by the winner Minella Diamond in winning easily at Limerick on Thursday

Beaten five times in winners' bumpers since Ballinrobe success on good ground in 2024 for Emmet Mullins; tailed off at Thurles on hurdling bow and in midfield when a faller two out at Naas; makes stable debut now.
