Wouldn’t You Agree looks a smart recruit to chasing ranks

WOULDN’T YOU AGREE, trained by Christy Roche for J P McManus, produced an immaculate display of jumping to win the Joseph J Grace Memorial Beginners Chase at Tralee yesterday.

McManus helicoptered from his Martinstown Stud base in Limerick to see his charge in action and it was certainly worth the journey.

Conor O’Dwyer oozed confidence throughout and allowed Wouldn’t You Agree to lead coming away from the fourth last. Le-Monde threw down a strong challenge in the straight and was almost on terms over the final fence.
