Dont Bother Me returns to form for Moran

Dont Bother Me made every post a winning one in the John R Fitzpatrick Agricultural Contractor Handicap at Leopardstown.

The six-year-old hasn't shown a great deal since returning to the Niall Moran stable but stepped forward from last week's Sligo comeback and saw off Plough Boy by two and a quarter lengths.

Moran said: "He was highly tried, he ran in the Guineas and led until two furlongs out in the Jersey.

"He was sent to England and came back a train-wreck. It's taken a long time to get him back right. He was only half the horse last year, and has come back right this year.

"He may go to the Curragh on Guineas weekend. We'll see how he is in the morning."
