Odds of 2/7 were justified in the Cashel Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel as Sir Abbot led home a one two for owner J P McManus.

The Morozov gelding obviously had strong credentials for this ten runner affair but Robert Tyner's charge had to work on the run-in to get the better of the Tom Taaffe's pace-setter, I Knew Well by half a length.

"It was workmanlike but it blew away the cobwebs. Philip (Enright, winning rider) said he travelled well down the hill but he needed the run a little bit.

"We might look for a winners hurdle for him next," stated Tyner. (TW & EM)
