FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The exciting THREE SWALLOWSNICK begins her racecourse career here. Jamie Codd will doubtless come here for the mount on Three Swallowsnick (though he does ride Abolitionist in the previous heat too), after competing 'between the flags' at Dowth Hall in County Meath earlier in the day. Bunclody-based handler Ivan Walker trained his first winner when Three Swallowsnick scored at Borris House last December.%A0 In the ownership of well-known Enniscorthy publican Nick Doyle then, the Westerner mare went on to follow-up at Durrow back in February, again impressing in the manner of victory. It wasn't surprising subsequently, when the five-year-old generated plenty of interest when offered for sale at the Tattersalls Ireland Cheltenham Festival Sale on St Patrick's Day, after the action out on the track. She was knocked down to Harold Kirk and Willie Mullins for 110,000 pounds.%A0 However, after the split between Mullins and Gigginstown House Stud, Three Swallowsnick will now do battle for the Gordon Elliott yard. Amazingly she wasn't sold as a foal for 600 Euros, and from those humble beginnings she'll likely be favourite here to beat ten rivals, the pick of which may be the experienced and consistent Bridge Native.
