Russell has all the answers on What’s Up Doc

DAVY RUSSELL, fresh from finishing a creditable third in the jockeys' championship behind Ruby Walsh and Barry Geraghty, is clearly intent on another good campaign.

He gave the Colm Murphy trained What's Up Doc the perfect drive to beat Mesopotamia and Cuan Na Grai in the Coyle Hamilton Willis Maiden Hurdle at Limerick yesterday, a contest in which the first three attracted significant market support.

It was Russell, however, who had all the answers, producing What's Up Doc with superb timing to come between horses after the last and beat Mesopotamia a short head.
