Foyle fancied

THE FOYLE is fancied to redeem the promise of a decent effort at Cork last month by landing the Templemore Maiden Hurdle at Thurles this afternoon.

Successful at the first time of asking for Pat Doyle in a bumper at Ballinrobe back in May, The Foyle was having his initial outing at Cork for trainer, David Wachman, and owner, J P McManus.

He certainly indicated his turn would not be long delayed when finishing three lengths second to the Edward O’Grady hot-pot, Overbury Affair, who is also owned by McManus.
