Review TIPPERARY 20th Jul

Larkwing bounced back from a disappointing effort in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham to finish a gutsy winner of the Grade Three Kevin McManus Bookmaker Grimes Hurdle at TipperarySun 20th Jul

After race at Down Royal Fri, 27th May, 2011 (1st)

He was drawn wide so I dropped in and came through horses. He was drawn the same at Dundalk so I was confident enough today. I think he'll stay further. He could go to the Curragh next.
