Siege set to atone

SIEGEMASTER, a desperately unlucky loser at Ballinrobe last time, can set the record straight in the second division of the Gowran Park Golf Membership Open Maiden Hurdle at the Kilkenny track this afternoon.

Dessie Hughes’ gelding was cruising in front, several lengths to the good, when crashing out at the final flight to leave Ri Na Deise in for a lucky success.

The six-year-old is now fancied to make the most of the 8lbs he receives from Uncle Junior, who is getting his act together over flights, only failing by a neck to Hold On Man on this track on his latest appearance.
