El Cerro can jump to it in maiden hurdle

EL CERRO is the nap choice to land the Tote Placepot Races 1 to 6 three-year-old Maiden Hurdle at the opening stage of the Tramore Festival this evening.

The selection is trained by Joe Crowley, who saddled Paco Jack to land the only other juvenile hurdle run so far this campaign, by 17 lengths, at Roscommon last week.

Paco Jack certainly knew his job and the chances are El Cerro will as well. Ability to produce a competent round of jumping is a massive plus in these early season tests.
