Student Pass defends Guinness

STUDENT PASS, who won the stake last year, heads a good-class entry for the Guinness Trophy at Curraheen Park, the draw for which was made at Guinness House, Cork yesterday by Michael Lyons, Southern Sales Manager, Diageo.

Owen McKenna’s charge is drawn in the opening heat and will have most to fear from the Ian Reilly trained Hondo Dubh next Saturday night.

Rooney, who has shown good form over the circuit recently, has an ideal inside berth in heat 5 where he is opposed by Tyrur Paschal and Annamore Eddie.
