Ilbdare one for McNiff in Sligo

He likes it here, he won over the same distance at the May meeting last year, and was unlucky not to win here in October when he made a mistake at the last. For a Flat-bred horse, he stays very well. He had to come wide into the straight for the final time, but doesn't like being around horses anyway. There's no forcing him, you have to let him find his feet and wait on him to go. He needs a bit of time between races, so he'll get a little break and probably come here next month or in August. Easy side of good is fine for him, but he wouldn't like it any slower.

Pets Georgina takes mares' bumper for Ryan and Halford

She had a really good run in a novice hurdle at Kilbeggan and is a talented mare. She's difficult to ride and difficult to train, and did a good bit wrong there. She pulled her way to the front, but still had enough to stay there. She's unnaturally tough. She's out a of a good mare (Missyspet) that the Hartes raced, who won three races. She'll go back hurdling now.
