The Tom Taaffe trained Ice Warrior won the The Greenogue Maiden Hurdle in great style by a comfortable 5 lengths under the hands of Adrian Joyce.

Ice Warrior is owned by his sister in-law Mary Monaghan.

Taaffe stated ? I am delighted for my sister in-law Mary, he did what we expected being a half brother to Finger On The Pulse. He is more of a summer ground horse and would prefer the quicker ground. We will start to think about Galway now and will be keeping him over hurdles for the rest of the season and go jumping with him this time next year.?year.?acute;
