Pure Nature lands brace for McGuinness and Ryan

Gavin Ryan and Ado McGuinness doubled up at Dundalk through Pure Nature in the nightcap, the second division of the mile and a half handicap.

The well backed 7/2 favourite forged on strongly in the final furlong and a half and saw it out well to win by a healthy three and a quarter lengths. Newgirlintown (6/1) and Franno (22/1) came in second and third respectively.

“It's capped off a great night for us,” said Ado McGuinness.

“She had a very good run the last day in Cork, when she finished second to Noel Meade's horse. I was speaking to Noel after and he thought his was a nice horse.

“I knew she'd improve and like this surface. She's in again on Thursday and I'd say we're going to have to run her as I'd say the handicapper isn't going to be too kind to her.

“I think potentially she could make a very nice juvenile hurdler. She's a nice filly and is improving all the time, I like this filly.”
