FRANCES CROWLEY'S Riverboatman made an excellent debut over jumps with a clear-cut victory in the 1560 111222 Live UK Commentary three-year-old Maiden Hurdle at a wet Tipperary last night.

MOST impressive performance at Killarney last night came when Sandy Owen and Jamie Spencer toyed with The Last Hurrah and Michael Kinane in the River Rock Race.

BOOKMAKER reaction to Grey Swallow’s narrow defeat of Meath in the 2000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown yesterday was to largely leave his price for the English 2000 Guineas unchanged.

GREAT PYRAMID, a full-brother to dual Guineas winner Rock Of Gibraltar, is set to make his racecourse debut at Naas tonight in the Yeomanstown/Morristown Lattin Stud EBF Maiden over six furlongs.

ALL the chases at Killarney's four-day meeting next week have been abandoned as that course is unraceable.
