Get off to the ideal start with Glenfinn Captain

GLENFINN CAPTAIN can get us off to the ideal start for the weekend by landing the Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park this afternoon.

Tom Taaffe’s charge is a specialist at this trip, two and a half miles, and comes here on the back of an unlucky run at Thurles over two weeks ago.

Glenfinn Captain raced down to the final fence that day stride for stride with eventual winner, Cailín Álainn. The latter appeared to be just about getting the best of the battle, but when the selection blundered, causing Barry Geraghty to lose an iron, the contest was effectively decided. Hopefully, compensation now awaits.
