TOMMY STACK’S Machaputo, a big disappointment when well fancied on his debut at Down Royal – but a major order morning-prices – strolled to victory in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Maiden at Tipperary last night.

FRAN BERRY has made a good start as John Oxx’s number one rider, replacing the retired Michael Kinane, and is fancied to keep the momentum going by partnering Rocky Elsom to success in the Spin Southwest Student Raceday Maiden at Limerick this evening.

Tommy Stack stole the show at the Curragh yesterday with a 3387-1 four-timer at the first meeting of the Irish Flat turf season.
