excuse the pun, but things fell into place for Slieveardagh today! It was the right result for us although not necessarily in the right order. Slieveardagh cut his leg in his last hurdle run at Killarney and while it was his first run back and his first run over fences, he jumped well. He was a good hurdler and should now make a nice chaser - we'll probably go for a winners' race at Galway next.
