Layers laughing as Express steams home

THE layers got a screamer of a result in the Glen Chase at Thurles yesterday when 33-1 shot Florida Express beat 5-4 favourite Scotsirish and there was certainly no fluke about it.

Shane Jackson took the outsider to the front with well over a circuit to go and the dual point-to-point winner maintained a relentless gallop from that point.

Scotsirish cruised up behind the leader approaching the home turn and looked sure to swamp him when Paul Townend so desired.
