Screamer of a result for Carberry

PAUL CARBERRY, in second spot behind Ruby Walsh in the jockeys’ championship, began his afternoon at Thurles yesterday with a smooth success aboard The Screamer in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Beginners Chase, a contest run for the most part in thick fog.

When they emerged from the gloom, the winner held a prominent position, cruising ahead between the final two fences to beat Guilt.

“I’ll fiddle around with her in mares novice races”, said trainer, Michael Hourigan. “She is lowly rated on the flat and the plan is give her a run on the all-weather some time.”
