Alan Crowe was seen to good effect aboard Your Busy after he claimed the Mulholland Bookmakers Maiden Hurdle for owner Ronan O’Gara.

Crowe who was hard at work aboard the Anshan gelding entering the straight looked to be in trouble but his mount responded well to pressure to get up and lead close home and deny Acclaimed by half a length.

A delighted Nash said afterwards: “We decided to chance him back in a maiden and I thought his experience would count for a lot and Alan [Crowe] gave him a fantastic ride.”

“He stayed at it well and he jumped fantastic but he’ll have to win four more races to be horse I thought he was.”

“He’ll be a fine big chaser in time but we’ll try and win another hurdle with him first.”

“I was speaking to Ronan O’Gara (Irish rugby player) on the phone and he is very happy and hopefully he’ll get to see him the next day.”
