Reports in which Gran Torino (IRE) was mentioned

Gran Torino ups the gears

Well-backed Gran Torino sealed victory for Noel Meade in the two-and-a-half-mile maiden hurdle at Down Royal with Jason McKeown in the saddle. Mon 26th Dec

Sir Des Champs looks good on chase debut

Willie Mullins (also had a winner with Mikael D'Haguenet), Gigginstown House Stud and Davy Russell added to their earlier gains with Toostrong when Sir Des Champs looked a natural on his chasing bow in the Johnny Lumley "Arkle Groom" Lifetime Achievement Beginners Chase at Fairyhouse. Sat 03rd Dec

He disappointed a few times in bumpers. I'm delighted if a little surprised to win today. He jumped great which is a big help and he is a real chaser in the making.
