Punters set to cash in on Dollars

AFISTFULLOFDOLLARS gets the nap to complete a hat-trick in the thurlesraces.ie Hurdle at Thurles this afternoon.

Successful in a bumper on this track last March, Noel Meade’s progressive gelding made a belated, but impressive, start over flights at Navan 13 days ago.

Christy Roche’s Lost Time was preferred to the selection in the market, but Afistfullofdollars was much the stronger in the closing stages, beating his rival by four and a half lengths.
