Beau justifies market confidence

Wed 12th May 2010, 19:56

Bob Le Beau landed a nice touch in the Kill Maiden at Naas when running out a game winner under Shane Foley.

The Jessica Harrington-trained gelding was supported from 8/1 into 4/1 and came with a strong charge over a furlong from home.

He had to squeeze up the rail but soon got the better of front-running Bridge Mountain and went on for a two-length success.

"He had a good run in Gowran but obviously doesn't go on soft and we'll keep him to good ground," said Harrington.

"He's a fine big horse and will strenghten up well. It wasn't a great race and hopefully the handicapper doesn't get too excited."

Harrington also said that jumping could be a long-term plan for the winner.

"He stays well and when he fills out he'll be a nice horse."
