Rumbled Again makes the breakthrough

Touched off in the previous race with Super Cub , Denis Hogan and Joey Sheridan had better fortune in the three-year-old handicap as 8/1 chance Rumbled Again got his head in front for the first time.

Third at Cork last week, Sheridan's mount was out sharply and soon in a good position on the tail of Finsceal Go Deo . He travelled strongly to lead two furlongs out and, despite edging right and impeding the weakening Finsceal Go Deo, kept on well to hold Rathbranchurch by a length.

“He put it all together today," said Sheridan.

"He jumped well, the track and ground suited him.

“He ran well the last day and stuck it well but I think the undulating track today suited a bit better, kept his mind in it. In fairness to him he kept at it well in front.

“I got a lovely lead throughout, he ducked right about a furlong-and-a-half out but other than that he was very straight.

“I'm delighted to ride another winner for Tony Cantwell who is a good supporter of the yard.”

Hogan had also been amongst the winners at Punchestown with Bal De Rio .
