Punters are Fully Funded

Fully Funded was all the rage for the Enniscorthy Maiden Hurdle, and the Noel Meade-trained gelding duly justified the confidence when successful in the hands of Davy Condon.

The 9/10 jolly, backed on track from 11/10, showed promise in three previous hurdle starts, and took it up before two out in this two and a quarter mile event.

The American bred made a slight mistake at the last but it made little difference as he came home five and a half lengths clear of Couleur De La Loi with long-time leader Sorted a further four and a half lengths adrift in third.

Meade was not at the south-eastern track but connections of the More The Merrier Syndicate from Galway, Mayo, Longford and London were on hand to celebrate.
