Meade bounces back with Roscommon treble

NOEL MEADE bounced back from the defeat of Harchibald at Tipperary on Sunday to take the training honours at Roscommon yesterday, recording a superb treble with Attercliffe, Ballyagran and Hotel Hilamar.

Meade, who was in Paris over the weekend, described Attercliffe as his “best three-year-old” after the gelded son of Alhaarth made a successful debut in the Sliab Bawn Racing Club Maiden.

A third winner on the level for Niall ‘Slippers’ Madden, the Barouche Stud’s home-bred readily outpointed October Sky and Settigano before drawing high praise from his trainer.
