Hill looks set to sweep rivals aside

JOHN KIELY appears to have a found a suitable opportunity for Sweeps Hill in the M D O’Shea and Sons Hurdle at Killarney tonight.

It would be fair to say the six-year-old hasn’t quite fulfilled earlier promise, but did run well - following a break - at the Punchestown Festival.

Sweeps Hill finished two and a half lengths and a neck third behind Blackstairmountain and Flat Out in a Grade 1 and this is an easier assignment.
