Tell Us This one for Cromwell and Staples Tell Us This completed the set of victories at northern racetracks when taking the honours in the Cosy Group Handicap Hurdle over an extended two-miles-one-furlong. The six-year-old gelding raced in rear of mid-division for Eoin Staples and took closer order in third before the penultimate flight. The 7/2 joint favourite led between the final two hurdles and powered up the hill to come in by eight lengths. Demanding Gerry, who was backed from 8/1 to 11/2, took the runner-up berth and was a short-head in front of Fire Coral (7/2jf). Gavin Cromwell said: "He did (handle the quickish ground well), he moved away great on it. "I'd have to see it again, but he got a lovely run up the inner and maybe got there a little too soon, but stayed going all the way to the line. "He had been a long time trying to get his head in front, he was demoted in Down Royal. He deserves it. "I'm delighted for them (Old School Syndicate), they have stuck with him. "That's Eoin's second winner for us, he's with us a couple of months. He's great value for the 7lb, I think he is a good lad." Tell Us This won a handicap hurdle at Down Royal in May last year.
