Silverhand gets job done Silverhand landed the odds in the Cat Busters Hurdle at Thurles but didn't have it all his own way. Killyglen kept him honest down the straight as Carberry sent the 1/3 shot up to challenge at the second last. A good jump at the final flight settled it for the hotpot and he could afford to ease home on the run-in for a length-and-a-quarter success. "That's just the way it's supposed to happen!" quipped trainer Noel Meade. "It doesn't usually work out like that." "Having said that the second horse ran a cracker and we needed to jump the last. "He loves that good ground and the trip gives him a chance. He could maybe go to England for a handicap next but he'll definately not run on heavy ground during the winter." Fences are not an option for the Lend A Hand gelding, who is not the biggest, but a return to the level is on the cards. "He could possibly go back on the Flat eventually for some long distance races," added Meade.
