THE National Hunt season in Ireland has made a smashing start and Clonmel this afternoon keeps the trend going, housing a decent programme.

IF we saw a potential star of the future in action at Killarney last night then it was surely That’s An Idea, successful in the Vintners’ Maiden Hurdle.

BARRY GERAGHTY is set to team up with Back In Front in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown on Sunday week.
