Change of tactics does the trick for Cloud

"We have been expecting him to do that for a long time and changed tactics today. I made too much use of him the last few times and myself and Mouse (Morris, winning trainer) were both in agreement to hold on to him today," said Mark Enright after Baily Cloud (12/1, from 16s) came back to form in the Killarney Oaks Hotel Novice Chase.
Unfortunately we lost Talk The Lingo after he badly injured himself on the turn away from the stands, after a couple of fences, which left five still in contention. Neverushacon was beaten when unseating two out and in the end Baily Cloud came home a length and a half to the good from the staying-on favourite Tiger Roll
"He jumped great and we've been waiting for that for a while and he might progress after getting his head in front again," added Enright.
J.W. Kennedy, rider of Tiger Roll trained by Gordon Elliott, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was badly hampered by an injured horse.
