Sweet Kiln can overcome a long absence

THE most interesting horse running at the two meetings in Ireland today has to be Sweet Kiln in the Supporters’ Club Maiden at Tramore.

She hasn’t been seen on the flat since finishing fourth of 30 behind Back In Front at Navan in October of 2004, 1,430 days ago, but a huge amount of water has flowed under the bridge in the meantime.

Michael Bowe’s nine-year-old has developed into one of the best staying hurdlers in the country and, with fitness never a worry with this yard, gets the vote, before returning to her true vocation.
