Barry on the scoresheet again with Time It’s Time Again continued a fine run for Cork trainer David Barry when recording her third courser success at Ballinrobe, in the Sherry Fitzgerald Mayo Handicap Hurdle. John Shinnick produced the 9/2 shot to challenge at the last and she led turning for home in the two-mile-five contest. The Vegas Raider looked to have come with a winning run on the outer in the closing stages but It’s Time Again rallied gamely to secure a half-length win. The Shirocco mare had won twice in the space of a month at the venue back in May 2022. Barry has also struck twice this month with Flemens Intrest and he said:- “They are just coming into form and when they’re in form everything comes easier. It’s great while it lasts. “She kind of went out of form for a while and we changed a few things and got her back feeling good in herself again. “She loves this place. The last time she ran in November (third at Gowran) we said on the way home that this is her place and we’d put her away. “This has been the plan since and it all worked out. She’s a summer mare. We’ll enjoy this and God is good after that.”
