Shark's horse enhances good record at Limerick

Teescomponentsyess (14/1) was another prominent racer to get on the scoresheet at Limerick as ‘Shark’ Hanlon’s charge landed the Goggin Buckley Handicap Hurdle.

The Shirocco gelding was travelling well at the head of affairs turning for home and a couple of fluent leaps over the hurdles in the straight carried him to a two and a quarter length victory over Castlegrange (14/1). Cregane Ned (15/2) and My Uncas (25/1) were the others to make the frame.

The winning five-year-old has a fine record at this track as winning rider Shane Fenelon explained: "We ran him over fences (at Cork) and thought he'd do well but he pulled up and was never really going. He loves that trip and ground and won his maiden hurdle here and was second in a good bumper here in the past."
