Dine out for Pierse Hurdle glory

EOIN GRIFFIN hopes ante-post favourite Kendor Dine can add his name to an illustrious roll of honour by winning tomorrow’s Pierse Hurdle – but believes his charge offers punters poor value.

The up-and-coming handler is swiftly making a name for himself, plundering high-class contests with Kazal and Lounaos in recent weeks, and has had the €130,000 Leopardstown two-mile handicap in mind for a while.

“It first came into my head when he ran in his third hurdle race when he was second up at Fairyhouse and I decided to get him handicapped,”explained Griffin.
