Mix looks right in maiden

CHARMINAMIX, who was taken out of a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe on Monday, can enjoy a first success over flights in the Dance To The Chevvy’s Dec. 21st Handicap Hurdle at Downpatrick this afternoon.

The grey four-year-old showed very little prior to being gambled-on at Bellewstown towards the end of August.

Running off a paltry 75, he was backed from 3-1 to 7-4 favourite, but proved disappointing. Charminamix failed to get to grips with Our Monty, who was conceding 21lbs, going down by three and a half lengths.
