Progressive Baltimore Hill follows up in fine style

WILLIE MULLINS, absent at a wedding in France, missed seeing his Baltimore Hill put up a fine performance to land the novice hurdle at Limerick yesterday.

Successful previously in a moderate maiden on this track, Baltimore Hill produced an effort here that was far in advance of that display.

He made every yard of the running for Ruby Walsh, finding plenty for pressure in the closing stages to resist Artiste Bay and Flying Johnny M, who came from well off the pace.
