Voler gets vote

VOLER La Vedette gets the nap to land a cracking five-runner Grade 3 WKD Core Hurdle at Down Royal this afternoon.

Colm Murphy's mare is rapidly on the upgrade and can stamp herself as one to be more than reckoned with as the campaign progresses.

She made a smashing seasonal debut in a Listed race at Punchestown last month and, hopefully, will now build on that. The five-year-old travelled like a dream throughout, quickening in style in the closing stages to slam Give It Time by an easy four and a half lengths.
