Berry in-form with Dundalk treble

Fran Berry, quickly into his stride when getting Six Of Hearts home in front at the opening meeting here a fortnight ago, went up a gear on stage two of the 2010 campaign when he completed a 246 and a half to one treble on Jessica Harrington's Morning Time in the concluding Crowne Plaza Race & Stay Package Maiden.

Earlier a winner aboard Paul Deegan's Bashir Biyoum Zain and Noel Meade's Dark Prospect Berry led on Morning Time (fit from hurdling) inside the final furlong and he went on to see off Sky Mystic by three parts of a length.

Mrs Harrington suggested that the Hawk Wing gelding, who likes good ground, will go back over hurdles and is likely to pay his way over the summer.

Meanwhile Berry doesn't have any thoughts for the National Hunt game and he won't be riding in the Cheltenham Bumper next week.
