Whinstone enhances National claims

WHINSTONE BOY added to his considerable gains in the Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park two weeks earlier, with another terrific display in the Kilcash Chase at Clonmel yesterday.

On an absolutely appalling afternoon weather-wise, the same as Gowran, the rapidly improving nine-year-old ran the opposition ragged.

Again ridden by Sean Flanagan, Whinstone Boy made every yard of the running and had the majority of this field in trouble a fair way from home.
