Sadler's break until spring

Henry de Bromhead already has one eye on next year's Galway Plate for Munster National hero Sadler's Risk.

The talented but quirky seven-year-old finished third behind stable companion Shanahan's Turn in the summer feature at Ballybrit in late July, before coming out on top in a thriller at Limerick earlier this month under Andrew Lynch.

"He made a number of mistakes down the back straight on the final circuit and I thought he was beaten after the third-last. But he really picked up down the straight," said De Bromhead.

"He's rated 150 now, and will have a break and come back in the spring.

"Going right-handed seems to be important to him and we could look at races like the three-mile handicap at Kempton (BetBright Chase) in February and later on he could go back for the Galway Plate."
