Reports in which Melbourne Shamrock (IRE) was mentioned

Melbourne Shamrock off the mark on handicap debut
Former point-to-point winner Melbourne Shamrock recorded a first victory under Rules when justifying favouritism in the Pertemps Network Group Handicap Hurdle at Naas. Sun 22nd Feb
Elliott and Kennedy fire in treble with Bally Free
Sat 13th Dec
After race at Naas Sun, 22nd Feb, 2026 (1st)
It was a gritty performance. He’s been knocking on the door in a few nicer races,. It’s a great win to get for Robert, to get him qualified for Cheltenham. I’d say he should take his place in the Pertemps Final, once he gets into the race. Hopefully that won’t leave a mark on him but he is a tough, hardy, horse. Fingers crossed we can be competitive. If it was slower ground he is a thorough stayer. Ground dependent, I’d give him a chance. He’ll be a real nice staying chaser next year. Fingers crossed there might be a nice staying handicap chase in him somewhere along the line.
