Marina sparkles in An Uaimh
Glencove Marina bounced back to his best when accounting for Made In Taipan by eight lengths in the featured Grade 3 Irish Form Book An Uaimh Steeplechase.
The John Brennan-owned gelding travelled great throughout this two and a half mile contest and a mighty leap at the last sealed the win. Rare Bob the well-backed favourite, couldn't raise his effort from three out and finished a further twenty five lengths back in third.
Willie Mullins commented of the Ruby Walsh-ridden winner (the pair completing a double after the victory of Lilywhitedancer earlier): "He ran too free the last day in Clonmel but he put it together better now. We'll look forward to Punchestown now and I'd imagine he'll have to go for the Guinness Gold Cup.
"J'y Vole and Cooldine will also be going for that race. He could have the class to go back to two miles but I don't think that he will."
