Hourigan upbeat about Hi Cloy

MICHAEL HOURIGAN hopes Hi Cloy can make up for a disappointing performance in last year’s MacLochlainn Road Markings Ltd. Kinloch Brae Chase when he lines-up for the Grade Two contest at Thurles tomorrow.

Hi Cloy started evens favourite in 2006 but could only finish a distant fourth behind Newmill.

“He wasn’t right. He hadn’t even been working well at the time, so that’s what we think it probably was,” said Hourigan.
