Carroll continues Halfords good run

There was a second bumper winner in three days for Emmet Mullins and John Gleeson when Churchfield Sunset justified favouritism at the first time of asking in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 4-y-o Fillies INH Flat Race in Cork.

In an excellent way to get off the mark in the training ranks Daniel McLoughlin saddled a well-backed newcomer to deliver in the Nursery Of Champions Fillies Maiden at Naas, Duckadilly getting it done in the hands of Oisin McSweeney.

Jack Foley (25), the champion conditional of 2021/2022, made a welcome return to the number one spot at Cork today in the Fraser Rutherford Handicap Hurdle aboard the John Murray-owned and Liam Cusack-trained 14/1 chance Glencourt Valley.
