Side with Siegemaster

THE progressive Siegemaster is fancied to continue Davy Russell’s terrific run in the INH Stallion Owners’ EBF Novice Hurdle at Thurles this afternoon.

A really slick jumper, he has come into his own since given a test of stamina, with cut in the ground. A creditable third to subsequent winner Glenrock Leader at Punchestown, the selection made no mistake next time.

At Fairyhouse 19 days ago, he led throughout when beating Good Fella and that runner-up boosted the form, going in at Fairyhouse on Tuesday.
