Sunvalley John out of Laurels

It was confirmed from Curraheen Park yesterday that Sunvalley John has been withdrawn from the opening heat in the second round of the Red Mills Irish Laurels on Saturday.

Trained by Michael Hallahan for Claire Lawless, Sunvalley John was due to race from trap six in the first heat and so this race is now a five dog contest. The line-up now reads: 1 Cuil Cougar; 2 Black Warrior; 3 Money Talks; 4 Cashen Mafuma; 5 Blue Jet Sky; 6 Vacant.
