Longer trip should suit Keaveney

Pat Keane

I propose siding with two of his charges, Keaveney and Roundstone Lady. Keaveney gets the nap in the Tom McCormack Memorial Cup Maiden Hurdle.

The six-year-old was well beaten on his debut over flights at Bellewstown, finishing 16 lengths fourth behind Perugino’s Shadow. Stepping up another five furlongs in trip now may hold the key and Keaveney showed his liking for this track previously when taking a bumper.
