Willie McCreery runners demand the closest inspection going forward

When Willie McCreery saddled a double at the Curragh last Saturday it was further evidence that here is a trainer who is rapidly going places.

McCreery was once a rampaging mid-fielder for the Kildare footballers and has been referred to in the past as the Mick Channon of Irish racing.

Channon was a top soccer player for Southampton and England and won an FA Cup medal 40 years ago when Southampton beat Manchester United 1-0.
