Trafford Lad may have legs of Drinmore rivals

TRAFFORD LAD, a horse who has been good to us in the past, is again entrusted with the nap in the Bar One Racing Drinmore Chase on a smashing card at Fairyhouse tomorrow.

A high-class novice hurdler, he has taken really well to fences and may have the legs on a couple of rivals who are more than useful.

The selection won well at Punchestown last time, giving the impression there was a lot of improvement to come. He ran far too freely for his own good in the early stages and then made an uncharacteristic error at the ninth.
