Go for Young Vintage

YOUNG VINTAGE, last of 21 on her latest appearance, gets the nap to take the Mares Hurdle on a rather ordinary six-race programme at Clonmel this evening.

Noel Meade, who has his horses in terrific shape, gave the selection an unusual preparation for this test when running her over an extended five furlongs at Navan last month.

That was Young Vintage’s first outing since finishing fifth of 26 behind You Need Luck over flights at Navan in November.
