Slieveardagh heading in the right direction

THE Edward O’Grady trained Slieveardagh streaked away with the featured Batty O’Sullivan Fraydan Haulage Limited Handicap Hurdle at sun-drenched Killarney last night.

The six-year-old had previously produced a career-best effort when fourth in the Galway Hurdle behind Overturn and is clearly a horse heading in the right direction.

Dreamy Gent set a spanking gallop, but it was always odds against him being able to maintain that for the entire journey.
