Carberry magic gets Fnan home in front

NOEL MEADE was loud in his praise of Paul Carberry, after the duo had combined to take the Sean Barrett Bloodstock Insurances-Aon Group Handicap Chase in front of an attendance of 3,500 at Tipperary last night.

“He gave that some ride, he was brilliant”, exclaimed Meade, who has long been Carberry’s biggest fan, in the winner’s enclosure.

Fnan had it all to do in sixth spot approaching the home turn, but off the bend it opened up like the Red Sea and Carberry, quick as a flash, nipped Fnan through on the inside.
