Strongpoint gets the job done in style

CHARLIE SWAN’S Strongpoint is clearly no star, but got the job done in good style in the 5Euro Admission On 24th June Beginners Chase at Tipperary last night.

Backed from 13-8 to 5-4, he blundered at the ninth, but other than that it was pretty much plain sailing. Davy Russell eased Strongpoint ahead before the second last and the front-running Mr Ramsey was beaten when departing here.

Said Swan: “He’s a big chasing type, but is actually only bred to get a mile and a half. Davy says to drop him back in trip and that’s what we might do.”
