An Dearthair Og can get off mark

Henry de Bromhead’s An Dearthair Og can land the second division of the Follow @TipperaryRaces On Twitter Maiden Hurdle at Tipperary this evening.

Given one spin in point-to-points, he has now run twice on the track and appears to have some potential.

His latest effort was the least impressive of the two, finishing a disappointing four and a half lengths second behind Five Point Plan in a bumper at Clonmel. It’s a contest which hasn’t worked out at all. Chances are, however, that the selection simply isn’t a bumper horse and it may pay to give greater consideration to his outing prior to that, over flights at Thurles.
