Thurles Race 5 - Sign Up To GavinLynchRacing.com Mdn Hurdle
GUNNERY SERGEANT (3) produced back-to-back placings and may improve. Nice performance when 6.75L third in a 4000m Fairyhouse maiden hurdle and followed up running 8.5L second in a 4100m Sligo maiden hurdle. Turns up against more moderate opposition this time and could prove hard to stop. BEEVERSTOWN BOY (1) progressed from debut when third behind the main selection. Will have a few lengths to find but comes lightly raced and might be in the mix. KILTINAN (4) must show more following a 9.75L eighth attempting a 4400m Galway maiden hurdle eighteen days ago. Not dismissed. FLASHY FRED (7) brings some useful jumpers flat form. Rates a contender providing initial hurdle outing.
