Listowel Race 7 - Paul Moynihan (Ex Vfi President) Memorial Flat Race
NEW GRANGE (10) managed to win nicely on debut a point to point after being strongly supported in the market. Joins a good yard for his rules career while the best amateur jockey around is on board. Will be very hard to beat. YOUNG DORAN (8) went well in two maiden hurdles so far and now reverts to the flat in pursuit of a maiden victory. Looks to have plenty of ability. ROND POINT (5) caught the eye on debut indicating real promise at Galway during July. One to keep firmly onside. BACK IN FAVOUR (11) has plenty of experience but should be better suited when going hurdling and tackling fences in time.

Third race start. First start didn't finish the race at Loughrea P2p May 11 2025 over 4828m. Went for a break before returning 3rd of 11 at Kilbeggan on August 21 over 3218m, 15 len behind Hill Silver carrying 75.5kg at $10. Strips fitter and can play a role in the finish.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when favourite; scored a big 24 len win at Ballygogue House P2p on February 21 over 4828m on a soft track defeating Track Commander carrying 60kg. Shows good ability and can make it two on end.
