Salsify impresses in hunters Salsify took the concluding Demesne Hunters Chase in good style at Clonmel, running out a convincing winner under Ciaran Fennessy. Roger Sweeney's charge moved sweetly into the lead entering the straight and soon got the measure of Island Peak. The 12/1 shot was sent clear before the last and kept on strongly to record a 12-length victory over that rival. "He won a point-to-point at Lisronagh two runs ago and last time in a winners' of two at Lisgoold was in front when he fell at the last," revealed Sweeney afterwards. "He'll go for another hunters chase next." It was a sixth success 'on the track' for 7lb claimer Fennessy who has also partnered 46 winners 'between the flags'
